Hi,
Hoping this might help someone. Feel free to contact me. Yesterday I installed Debian 10 (Buster) with Xfce GUI to my laptop. After installing "firmware-linux firmware-realtek" warnings were reported, "Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gv100/" ... "for module nouveau". There is no directory for gv100. The laptop has Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller and GeForce GTX 860M video graphics controller. Laptops boots OK and I can log in without obvious issues. I have watched YouTube video at 1920x1080 full screen without noticing any issues. Later today, if time permits, I am hoping to install "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-430.34.run", which if I read correctly, contains Nvidia's drivers for a "GeForce GTX 860M". # apt list --installed | grep firmware WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.
