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

- You need to download (from Debian Packages) the firmware-iwlwifi_20210315-2_all.deb package and add to your Debian 11 usb installer the firmwares included on it ( put these files on the root of the usb installer ): iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-*

- In order to use the nvidia gpu, you will need to disable from uefi bios the 'secure boot' option (to NO). - Enabling /etc/apt/sources.list 'contrib non-free' to each repository line it is required in order to get some additional firmwares and updates. Please update you sources.list, then apt update && apt upgrade before continuing.

Configuration

Display

Integrated Intel gpu works out of the box.

To get nvidia gpu working (with optimus technology behaviour), follow this steps:

# apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) firmware-linux* nvidia-detect

run:
$ nvidia-detect
This should output this in order to be able installing nvidia-driver:

It is recommended to install the

package.

If you see this output, continue installing nvidia driver

# apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings

Install i386 libraries in case you need to run something like wine32 app with the nvidia gpu
# dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update
# apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386

Reboot the laptop

- Previous steps are just a quick and a easy-to-do resume of the official Debian NvidiaGraphicsDrivers page.
- Nvidia Setting ' Auto ' ?PowerMizer Mode works silent and Ok, so you dont need to worry about energy usage.

Audio

Simply install

# apt install firmware-sof-signed

Power Management

I recommend to install the ' cpufrequtils and cpufreqd ' packages and use the CPUFreq Applet for Gnome Shell in order to:

- Disable CPU BOOST ( if you want to improve your battery life )
- Set Governor as powersave

Note - If you have set ' silent mode ' in BIOS, disabling the BOOST make the processor to work only at a maximum of 999Hz per core. Doesnt matter wich governor you choose, it will works at that maximun any way = more battery life. Governor's setting only apply if you have BOOST enabled = more battery usage.


WiFi

Refer to the ' Important Note ' section of this same Wiki page.

Typographies

I recommend (of course you can adjust this later as you prefer) following settings in tweak tool for typographies scale configuration in order to better screen display performance on this 15" laptop:

- Antialiasing: Subpixel
- Hinting: Light
- Scalling Factor: 1,20

PowerTOP

On battery, set this at startup to get 9 hours of battery life ; )
$ sudo powertop --auto-tune

Color Profile

The monitor display included on this laptop it is Full HD IPS 100% sRGB, I have gotten better results using the Standard sRGB profile on color settings.

- Go to gnome configuration
- Color
- Remove the default configured schema
- Add the Standard sRGB
- Restart the Gnome session

Firefox-ESR

Firefox looks a little bit small by default on this screen, so I can recommend to you this following setting ( as MonitorDPI Debian Wiki Suggest ) in order to improve it:

- Type about:config on the Firefox address bar and hit Enter
- Set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.25
- Restart the browser

Gnome-firmware

I recommend to install this so this laptop its able to receive firmware updates through 'fwupd'.
# apt install gnome-firmware
