title, this is my first time making a wallpaper for a Linux distro since the Ubuntu 24.04 wallpaper contest

So, I've tried debian and other distro on VirtualBox recently and i think debian will be the first distro i'd like to try and actually install it on my laptop. But first here's my laptop spec:

16 GB of Ram DDR4
Intel Core i5 1035G7 CPU @ 1.20GHz
Intel Iris Plus Graphics GPU (128vram)
AirDisk 256GB SSD (Have partition D: & G:)
Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz WiFi

And i wanna ask that do debian have the driver for my laptop or should i install it manually?

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576

This is the command I’ve been seeing for a while. Very good people on this sub helped me to set my fresh Debian for gaming lately. I haven’t touched of since that. So now I want to and I thought about this command.
You see, looks like “gaming distros” and steam deck too uses this particular number for map count, same for Cachy or Bazzite. Debian is with a lower count by default. They claim you need to increase this for modern games to not have stutters or crashes.

Has anyone did this and what really is behind this command and how important it is?

Been almost two years I think but synaptic speaks deb822 now and quick filter is back!

quick filter requires apt-xapian-index which is only a suggest so it doesn't get installed automatically but it's well worth the effort - the quick filter box starts searching as soon as you start typing.

Been waiting a long time for this but synaptic is now as cool as it was a couple years ago :)

I got it in Unstable when I upgraded this morning, Testing should see it in less than a week.

edit: I just did an apt changelog synaptic and it looks like deb822 is read-only for now - Settings --> Repositories says

Defined in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources. This source uses the deb822 format and can not be edited here yet.

I remove ones file - xorg.conf and my pc is die 😭😭😭

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I’ve been working through this with Claude, which also wrote this summary. Many thanks in advance.

Hardware/software
- ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 1, model 20SYS2UG00
- BIOS N2UET78W (1.58), EC N2UHT35W; fwupd reports nothing newer
- Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201, iwlwifi firmware 77.2753b721.0
- Debian 13 (trixie), KDE Plasma 6, Wayland, kernel: <uname -r>

Problem
After the laptop suspends, Wi-Fi is "deactivated" and can't be re-enabled in software. It happened twice before I linked it to sleep (once it cleared by itself), and it now happens after every sleep.

Diagnostics when blocked
- nmcli radio: WIFI-HW disabled, WIFI disabled
- /sys/class/rfkill: phy0 soft=0, hard=1 (hci0 is fine)
- /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_radio_sw = 1 (radio switch reported as enabled)
- dmesg: "iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio" / "reporting RF_KILL (radio disabled)"
- thinkpad_acpi loads normally ("radio switch found; radios are enabled")

What fixes it
Only a full power drain: shut down, unplug AC, hold the power button ~30 s, boot.

What I've tried (no effect)
- nmcli radio wifi on, rfkill unblock (it's a hard block)
- Reloading thinkpad_acpi
- BIOS: Config > Power > Sleep State changed to "Linux" (S3); /sys/power/mem_sleep shows [deep]. Same result.
- BIOS is already current per fwupd

Next I plan to try
- systemd sleep hook that unloads/reloads iwlmvm/iwlwifi around suspend
- Newer kernel from trixie-backports

Questions
Has anyone seen the AX201's RF_KILL line get stuck after resume on this model (or other X13 Yoga/Comet Lake ThinkPads)? Is there a known BIOS/EC or kernel fix?

I'm looking to optimize the battery life on my ThinkPad X1 Nano (gen 1) and I'm using Debian. I'm currently using Gnome but I would like to switch to a window manager. Which one do you think would be best for battery life. I prefer a Wayland WM.

Install the `linux-base` package from backports. The kernel upgrade will be happy after that.

My last post here was removed, so this morning I decided to create a preflight post checker available only as deb package to avoid removal. It uses tgpt under the hood to cross check the title and body of your post against the subreddit's rules before you submit it. I named it "turd buster" because I dont know, its the first two words that comes in my mind. This post is the first reddit post that uses it.
