- | If you depend on Wifi for your connectivity and the Wifi disconnects all the time it can get really irritating. | + | |
- | After 3 days of intense searching I finally came across [[https:// | + | |
- | All in all I am still super happy with the XPS 13, great performance, | + | The most important changes are that from now on, the non-free firmware has been moved into its own repository |
- | Just to summarize the steps to get the disconnects solved: | + | Also, if you are running a dual-boot system, you will have to tell Grub to actually probe for other OS on your system, by default that is now disabled. Just enable the row '' |

- | ==== 2018-02-17: New challenge, XPS 13 ==== | + | ==== 2019-07-06: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Buster) released! |
- | I got myself a new challenge: a brand new Dell XPS 13 9370 (2018 model) Developer Edition (non-touch). I really love this notebook, thus far I have not found one single point of criticism (I am not a webcam user ;-)). | + | I still remember the Woody and Sarge release cycles and I am so happy that Debian nowadays has a somewhat stable release cycle. |

- | However, somehow | + | Next to lots of updated software, the biggest change undoubtedly is that Debian is finally able to do secure boot. Also, when using the Gnome Desktop, the default display manager will be Wayland instead |

- | * The Wifi randomly disconnects. I had to disable power management for the Wifi card, a description of that will follow later on this site. | + | |
- | * I am running KDE and using the compositor in hardware rendering mode (for e.g. the desktop cube) makes the screen become flickery after a while, the contents don't get redrawn. Switching to software rendering (no more cube) solves this problem and switching from the default OpenGL 2.0 to 3.1 makes it less likely to happen.

- | * The keyboard backlight turns off after just 3 seconds even though the setting is at 10 seconds. I will have to research this further (low prio). | + | |
