Debian Bullseye on Dell Inspiron 5515 or Dell Inspiron 5510

#1 Post by Ancient-Ad409 »

Does anyone have any experience running Debian Bullseye on a Dell Inspiron 5515 or a Dell Inspiron 5510? How is it holding up? I hear the 5515 has a problem with some kernel versions, is this still a problem with Bullseye?

You would need to use the kernel from backports. The issue you mention is fixed in kernel 5.17, and backports has 5.18. I have no actual experience of these laptops.

Thank you for the reply.
That is an option, indeed, but I was wondering if anyone's been able to use the device without having to use backports and risk breaking Debian.
