This is for a new consumer-grade HP laptop which seems to be (according to
Windows) running a Realtek 8852 wireless connection (no standard Ethernet jack
on this laptop).
Debian 11 doesn't seem to detect the wireless NIC.
Does anyone know what driver is used for this?

On a new HP Laptop pre-installed with Win10 Home edition installed on an

A fresh copy of Debian 11 was installed into the machine's 1TB HD. After

The solution is to go into Windows, open a command prompt/shell as the

Yes, exactly. It works as it should: Upon boot the GRUB menu is presented,
with Debian, its emergency option, and the option of booting into Windows.
Thus, all is right in the world. :-)

I take this idea a bit further, setting a longer prompt and setting

VLC doesn't give an error, it just endlessly tries loading and reloading

The heck with mainframes. Back in the 1990s I had PC-based Debian boxes

That seems to be the problem -- os-prober only shows that /dev/sdf1 has an

Okay, here's a different backup software question.
The scenario: Call me weird, but I buy plastic CDs and refuse to buy

Exactly. Without specific criteria this will likely just be a sea of

My own preference is KMail. It has its bugs, but the way it handles
multiple e-mail addresses and accounts is IMO superior to other clients.

The changes between KDE in Jessie and KDE in Stretch are substantial,
