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.

{i} = Configuration Required; X-( = Only works with a non-free driver and or firmware

Important Note

* Requires the non-free package iwlwifi for wifi/bluetooth

* System Configuration: In BIOS, change SATA Operation from "RAID On" to "AHCI". Without this change, Linux won't find the internal hard disk.

Configuration

Display

UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake)

Suggests non-free wifi for i915 video driver (but does NOT require it)

Touch screen works as a selecting device but doesn't appear (at least in KDE) to support being used as you might 'click and drag' on a tablet screen.

Audio

Cannon Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller

Works without changes.

Mouse

works without changes. Using

Power Management

Suspend works, hibernation untested

WiFi

Intel Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC]

Requires firmware

Quirks

For reasons not obvious to me bluetooth stopped working on upgrade to 10.10 and further upgrades did not result in bluetooth again despite live images of newer versions working fine. Wifi continued to work fine despite being handled by teh same driver and firmware packages. The problem was something OS related as bringing forward my home directory during a reinstall did not reintroduce the problem.

The broken system was installed as 10.5 in August 2020 and upgraded through all point releases to 10.10 when BT stopped working. Upgrading to 11 RC2 did not resolve the issue but reinstalled 11 RC2 and restoring /home did resolve the lack of bluetooth.
