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

{Before Debian can be installed, the legacy boot payload (SeaBIOS) needs to be updated and firmware boot options need to be changed. https://mrchromebox.tech/ is the easiest way to do that.

Configuration

Keyboard

The keyboard top row hotkeys (Back, Forward, etc) generate F1 to F10 key events.

Most can be mapped to generate appropriate actions using the Gnome keyboard settings in the control panel. In order to get the media keys working, you have to do some configuration. There are a number of approaches:

WiFi

Works, include firmware-iwlwifi from non-free.
