See report here. We have ~400 computers tested on Debian 11 at the moment. 10% of them are probed from LiveUSBs, others are installed systems.
The main goal of the report is to make sure that we have not lost support for any hardware configuration classes. To achieve this, I compared it with the similar report for Debian 10 in order to find significant discrepancies. Good news that we've covered all hardware classes tested on Debian 10 and differences in statistical indicators are relatively small. Particularly, I don't see any noticeable regression in use of AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards (see discussion here). Either affected graphics cards are rare or people do not have problems with installing additional firmware packages.
Thanks to all for participating in the report! Looking forward to get more Debian hardware probes from the community to monitor hardware support status and trends.
Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230

Re: Preliminary hardware support status report - one week before the release of Debian 11
Wasn't the firmware issue punted at Buster?
For kernels >4.09 (~4.10-4.15) the firmware became required for nouveau and radeon.
amdgpu needed it earlier, and for cgn1 cards is still not up to radeon stability.

I use KDE on wayland, but when making report it said KDE (X11) SDDM as DE. As SDDM still can't run native on wayland it self, it uses X11, while session is on wayland. Was my report then counted as running X11 session?

Re: Preliminary hardware support status report - one week before the release of Debian 11
It should be counted as Wayland because, as I can see, you are using XWayland. What's in your XDG_SESSION_TYPE and WAYLAND_DISPLAY environment variables?mm3100 wrote: ↑2021-08-07 16:40 I use KDE on wayland, but when making report it said KDE (X11) SDDM as DE.

Here,
Code: Select all
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland
echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
wayland-0

Did you use the 'sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload' command (the '-E' flag is critical to collect session type)?mm3100 wrote: ↑2021-08-07 19:29 Here,Code: Select all

Yeah, that was the problem... I didn't read... My bad.linuxbuild wrote: ↑2021-08-09 07:31 Did you use the 'sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload' command (the '-E' flag is critical to collect session type)?
I have done it again and it saying Wayland this time.

It was very interesting to read the report, and it also makes it a lot easier for end users to pick the right hardware for Debian.
Brilliant!
