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.

Configuration

Display

The built-in Intel graphic card works out of the box. You can still disable Optimus in the BIOS.

Hybrid graphics/Optimus

You can also use Optimus through the Bumblebee project.

/!\ You may require the Lenovo hack /!\

TwinView / Xinerama

Works out of the box, You can use arandr to modify all settings.

Audio

Alsa, works out of the box, but you can improve your sound quality by installing the Realtek ALC272 Codec

Touchpad

2 finger vertical scrolling works Out of the box, everything else requires some configuration. You can use gpointing-device-settings to modify all settings.

Power Saving

For power saving I recommend TLP which works very well (~5 hours on battery mode).

Advanced Power Saving

Use powertop to optimize your power consumption.

Disable the nvidia card

This can be done with bbswitch , vga_switcheroo(Ubuntu Documentation) or through your bios.

Enable some power saving features

/!\ Be careful some of them may cause system lockups /!\

I used,

WiFi

Requires the firmware-brcm80211 package.
