Debian 11 in asus transformer

Debian 11 32 bit in Asus Transformer Book (T100TAF)
==========================================

I burned in a dvd debian bullseye for 32 bit.
I connected an exterior dvd and boot with the previous dvd (after changing the boot sequence. I think F2 or F8 and I disabled secure boot.).
After installation was completed (I made a different partition for /home and 1GB for swap) , it took some time, I didn't have wifi.
I connected an adapter "from usb to ethernet" ( a very cheap one) and got internet. First thing I made, I changed sources.list.

Code: Select all

$sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
# I put the following lines and commented all the others

Code: Select all

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main 
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main 
We need the non-free flag, :cry:
Then,

Code: Select all

$sudo apt-get install firmware-intel-sound //sound
$sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211  //wifi
** I didn't manage to make the camera working, but I used an exterior camera which worked immediately (tested with cheese)
** Also, I didn't try anything to fix brightness, which is not working. But there are some workarounds.
** I deactivated "suspended" after closing the lid, since you need to reboot the machine if you left this choice. Also, I did not try to fix this.

Then, I continued to make some stylistic changes to gnome. I installed gnome-tweaks.
In fact, I installed the following programs.

Code: Select all

$sudo apt-get install nmap,htop,resolvconf,gnome-tweak-tool,net-tools,locate,lmsensors,inxi,cups
To install flameshot and flameshot-gui I needed to install gnome-tray extension from here :
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1503/tray-icons/

Also, I tried a projector using hdmi which also worked fine. The only thing I noticed is that after disconnected it the display flipped.

The notebook works fine and is fast. There were many easy fixes for the serious problems.
+1 to debian.

Thank you for the install report. If you wish, It could be useful to share a summary of your hardware configuration (using, for example, hw-probe [1]) in order to debug and fix problems on your computer . Therefore you could use a reference (URL) to the sample probe for your installation in future messages for each specific topic/issue.
