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 have not tested hibernation, sleeping (when closing the lid) seems to work most of the time, although once or twice I couldn't get it to wake up.

The drivers for the Realtek 8822CE are not currently available in the firmware-realtek package

The easiest fix for this is to grab the latest tarball of the linux-firmware repo at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git and put it on a usb stick, then when the installer reaches the network setup, enter a shell (via go back -> shell) and run the following 

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt # replace sdb1 with your usb (run blkid to check)
lsmod | grep rtw88 # identify the modules relating to the rtw88 driver that we'll need to unload
modprobe -r rtwpci rtw88 # unload the modules
cp /mnt/linux-firmware/rtw88/* /lib/firmware/rt88/ # install the required drivers
modprobe rtw88 # load the new drivers
exit

The network setup step should now succeed and prompt you to connect to a network.
