Installing Debian

  1. Download Debian netinstall ISO

    Debian aarch64 current: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/arm64/iso-cd/

  2. Flash the ISO to a USB drive

    dd if=~/Downloads/debian-*version*-arm64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdX

    Alternatively, you can use Gnome Disks, balenaEtcher, or an imaging tool of your choice.

  3. Insert and boot from the USB drive

    [ESC at Boot] > Boot Maintenance Manager > Boot From File > (USB Device ID) > EFI > AARCH64.EFI; [ENTER]

  4. Install Debian and restart when prompted

  5. Once logged in, complete the following steps to prevent crashing [AMD GPU's]

    nano /etc/default/grub

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="amdgpu.pcie_gen_cap=0x4 amdgpu.noretry=0"

    sudo update-grub

  6. Install the following to enable GPU hardware acceleration [All GPU's]

    sudo apt install firmware-linux

NOTE: If you are using an AMD GPU, you will probably need to apply the Mesa patch on under "Post-Install Recommendations" on the main page.
