Looks good to me. Found a couple of broken links.
I didn't watch the video.

[gitressa]

Looks awesome, thanks!

1. Update the title?

   I would suggest to update the article and YouTube title to something like this, to increase the likelihood of people finding them:

   Install DDEV and Drupal 11 in Linux and create an Xdebug breakpoint with PhpStorm in 10 Minutes (2025)

2. mkcert installation

   Perhaps we can mention how to install mkcert, perhaps tagging on this at the end?

   3. One-time mkcert -install helps your browser trust DDEV’s HTTPS certificates. Install with sudo apt install libnss3-tools mkcert.

3. Release short video installing Drupal 11 with the standard method?

   You could consider slicing out the few minutes it takes to create a fresh Drupal 11 installation with the standard method from "DDEV on WSL2 From Scratch", and releasing it on its own:

   21:40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dr_4gPtFlQ&t=1299s
   UNTIL
   25:21: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dr_4gPtFlQ&t=1521s

   It could be released with this title?

   Create a Drupal 11 installation in DDEV in 5 minutes (2025)

Suggestion from @gitressa

Suggested change

	title: "DDEV on Linux in 10 Minutes"
	title: "Install DDEV and Drupal 11 in Linux and create an Xdebug breakpoint with PhpStorm in 10 Minutes (2025)"

[rfay]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it just ends up being Too-Much-Information.

[gitressa]

Ok, I might have over done it a bit :)

But I think the current title is too vague, because it will make it hard to find the video for those looking for that info ... it's basic white hat SEO.

Could this work?

"Install DDEV in Linux and add PhpStorm Xdebug breakpoint in Drupal (2025)"

mkcert is installed as a dependency of DDEV.

Release short video installing Drupal 11 with the standard method

I may do a very long one, like the Windows from Scratch one, that would probably do this. However, this one links to the quickstarts.

The danger of course is making too much for people to put up with :)

Thanks for the review!

[gitressa]

You're welcome! And very cool that everything is reviewable like that, I'll try to remember to use that next time.

Ah yes, of course -- that explains it! I looked everywhere, but couldn't understand how I didn't install it in the first place :) ... like I once had to ...

That would also be nice, thanks! Though, simply snipping out and releasing that short version I suggested could also work ... and be fairly fast to create.

[stasadev]

To be removed?

[rfay]

If you have time, feel free to make any change you think is appropriate. I'm sure the old one is to be removed. I have so very much trouble with these things!

[stasadev]

Looks good to me.

[rfay]

Thank you!
