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

Boot with graphics

lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620] [8086:3ea0] (rev 02)
01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GP108M [GeForce MX230] [10de:1d11] (rev a1)

Ok,so the auto xorg configure works on this,but this laptop got an nvidia card which nouvean have a bad support on it

When booting from grub,add this to kernel parameter 

nouveau.modeset=0

After boot up Xorg and your desktop,add this to 

/etc/default/grub

It should looks like 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nouveau.modeset=0"

(You don't need to parse all of this line,just parse nouveau.modeset=0 cuz we need to blacklist nouveau)

Display / Nvidia

In debian bookworm you can use NVIDIA PRIME Render Offload,which is a good way to let application run with nvidia card

Install bbswitch and nvidia non-free driver

Remember to add non-free source first! 

apt update&&apt upgrade -y&&apt install nvidia-driver bbswitch-dkms -y

To run a application with nvidia card,add this variables to it

For example,i want to run glxgears with nvidia card,then i type 

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears

By the way,to load bbswitch on boot,type this in console 

echo 'bbswitch ' | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/bbswitch
(if bbswitch still not load on boot,try this)
(echo 'bbswitch ' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules)
sudo update-initramfs -u

To turn on nvidia card,type this in console 

/usr/bin/echo ON | sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch

To turn off nvidia card,type this in console 

/usr/bin/echo OFF | sudo tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch

To avoid flip/glitch/blackout/tearing 

/usr/bin/echo 'options nvidia-drm modeset=1' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u

And add this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf 

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Nvidia Card"
        Driver     "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    Option         "MetaModes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceFullCompositionPipeline=On}"
    Option         "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "off"
    Option         "TripleBuffer" "on"
EndSection

Then reboot it should be fixed !Oh yeah!

Display / Intel

lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620] [8086:3ea0] (rev 02)

UHD Graphics 620 have some problem likes tearing and glitching,to fix that, simply add the following lines to /etc/X11//etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf 

Section "Module"
  Load "dri3"
EndSection
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option      "DRI"   "3"
  Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
  Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Then relogin,everything should works fine.

Audio

PulseAudio bluetooth support only HSP/HFP with default configure which is awful

To enable it,firstly install package pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and ofono 

apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth ofono

Then add these lines to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf 

AutoConnect=true
Enable=Source,Sink,Media,Control,Gateway,Socket,Headset
MultiProfile = multiple

This line to /etc/pulse/default.pa 

load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2

Restart,it should be A2DP by default when you connect to a new bluetooth device

Mouse

usb/wireless/touchpad all works awsome

Power Management

Works great

WiFi

Install these packages 

apt install firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-ath9k-htc

Modem

No modem on this device
