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

This model includes a discrete NVIDIA GPU which I have disabled in order to use the Intel GPU exclusively.

I created /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf: 

# Only enable the built-in Intel GPU
blacklist nouveau

Mouse

There are a lot of issues with the built-in touchpad/trackpad and as far as I can tell, they are hardware issues. Once I got the keyboard replaced under warranty, everything started to work with the default drivers.
