DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

Important Note

The device came preinstalled with Debian buster, backports for kernel and non-free firmware.

Backport kernel 5.5 was probably necessary to run the computer, I am not sure about most firmware.

CPU is Intel Core i5-10210U (Quadcore, 8 Threads, 1.6 GHz, 4.2 GHz ?TurboBoost, 6 MB ?SmartCache, 64-Bit, VT-x), Comet Lake-U. Comet Lake is not yet covered by firmware-misc-nonfree

Configuration

Display

15,6" TN FullHD-Display, 1920x1080 Pixel

Graphic currently only runs with software rendering. Thus it is very sluggish and not usable for viewing videos.
