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

This laptop has only a 32-bit UEFI, with no option for Legacy BIOS. Both i386 and amd64 versions of Debian will boot correctly, but loading of the initral ramdisk is considerably faster with amd64.

The easiest way to enter the boot menu is by powering up the laptop with the Novo button.

As only 2GB of non-upgradeable RAM is available, consider allocating 1 GB zram to avoid OOM scenarios or swapping to the slow eMMC storage.
