Will Debian 10 work on Huawei Matebook 14 with AMD Ryzen ?

#1 Post by oida »

Hi,

before buying the Huawei Matebook 14D with 512 GB PCIe SSD, 8GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U i want to know if Debian 10 is working well on this system, since i am not the "Pro" user.

If anyone has thoughts or experience with this Ultrabook please let me know about it.

Thank you all in advance for help

Third generation Ryzen is not well-supported by Debian buster's stock kernel but the version from the buster-backports repository should work, you'll also need the backported firmware-amd-graphics package. Unfortunately there are no backports for xsever-xorg-video-amdgpu or libgl1-mesa-dri so video support might be lacking.

I'm using a 2500U with buster's stock packages and it works well, can you find any cheap deals on slightly older laptops?

Just a note that the repo now contains the MX "linux-firmware" package, ported over from Ubuntu, for those that need the newer firmware it contains. It will be there until Debian updates their aging packages.
