I just upgraded the ThinkPad X240 from Debian 9 to 11 last month, and a few days later I got a new laptop at work - ThinkPad X13 Gen 2. So I performed a clean install of Dedian 11 directly on the new one, and made this post by the way. There was a previous post documenting what I did after installing Debian 9 .

Make WiFi work first (kernal 5.10 with AX210) 1 

$ uname -r
5.10.0-13-amd64

$ sudo dmesg | grep AX210
[5.877522] iwlwifi 0000:09:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz, REV=0x420

$ sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi

$ mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm.bak
$ reboot

Configure the apt source as a domestic mirror site 2 

$ su -
$ echo "deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list

Add myself to the sudo group 3 

$ su -
$ adduser youfeng sudo
# or
# usermod -aG sudo youfeng (debian-based)
# usermod -aG wheel youfeng (redhat-based)
# Log out and then log back in again for the new group to take effect.

# Allow sudo group members to execute commands without password.
$ vi /etc/sudoers
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
:wq!
