Not sure if off-topic but I had a similiar problem with my Optimus Laptop (thinkpad p50) with frequent random freezes on Debian buster , though. There is an issue with intel-graphics and for me sticking to NVIDIA-Drivers helped to fix. There is a broader discu

Wow! Thanks a lot to David and to you Andy! Yes, all that is right about the graphic cards. So far, I never had a problem with the installers (but never used the standard ones, actually) I will check whenever possible, but I sort of remember to have disable at some point the Optimus switch on the

Hello Andy, Thank you for your answer. The computer has 8 Gb memory, a lot more than enough to load the image. The graphics are NVIDIA 4200M, with drivers provided, under Debian 10, by the legacy deb packages. Of course, I could try upgrading directly from Debian 10 and rely on the backups if som
