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.

Installation

Model had no OS preinstalled

Debian 13.5 (trixie)

Official Debian installer - amd64 NETINST with (non-free) firmware) - cdrom image detected and booted from USB removable memory stick by UEFI BIOS with unaltered settings,
matching (German) key layout (QWERTZ) applied,
standard guided partition scheme (full disc),
standard package selections but KDE Plasma desktop

Overall Status

Legend :
= OK ; Unsupported(No Driver) ; $/!\$ = Error (Couldn't get it working); [?] Unknown, Not Test ; [-] Not-applicable
= Configuration Required; = Only works with a non-free driver and or firmware

Important Note

Issues reported against Linux kernel 6.5 regarding non-functional built-in keyboard and touchpad don't apply to current default Linux 6.12, no BIOS update etc. required.

Configuration

Display

Wayland (default) uses build-in display with full resolution, no issues with copy or extended desktop mode using external monitor, OpenGL support: AMD Radeon 610M (radeonsi, raphael_mendocino, LLVM 19.1.7, DRM 3.61, 6.12.90+deb13.1-amd64)

Audio

integrated sound works, configurable for use of

Radeon HD audio controller (config menu tests failed)
Ryzen HD audio controller - noisy integrated mics, but both stereo input and output work

Mouse

desktop pointer works by touchpad, external mice hot-plugged (via USB-A-connector or Bluetooth) too

Power Management

works with energy/ performance default settings "balanced",
sufficiently capable PSU at the (only) USB-C port charges device as well

WiFi

works including on-off by plane-mode switch equally well via desktop and <plane>-hotkey
