Re: No sound: HP Spectre x360 "Dummy Output" output device (broadwellrt286)

Probably wont help you but one of the issues I had with my Envy x360 was solved by using a much more newer kernel than what the default is in Debian.

Here you go.

I'm doing what you're basically asking. I have a few deb 10 VMs running on a r710 and all I do is use Remmina to connect.

Enjoy..

Re: Dell G7 7700 not working with Debian 10

yea, try Bullseye. I had to for my new HP x360. Everything works. I had to find drivers for a few things but it was easy. XFCE acting weird, not asking for authentication for gparted but if you dont use XFCE then you'll avoid that. GNOME Classic works fine also.

[SOLVED] gparted on XFCE not asking for password

I'm running Deb testing on my HP Envy x360. Why? Well, I could not get the nvme drive recognized. I didnt want to fart around too much since my previous laptop was sold and needed to transfer my old stuff. In general everything works fine unless there is an application which requires authentication ...

Re: Dell 7391 2n1 Graphics not working

Really really new hardware and an aging version of Debian stable are a poor match. You may need to use backports or even firmware packages that aren't in any version of Debian yet. This will be the answer to many many many questions that will appear here in the future, just as it's been the answer ...
