Hi,
I've recently purchased a Lafite IV 15.6" (Clevo N151CU) and have installed Debian testing (bullseye). Here are some specs:
Chassis & Display
Lafité Series: Aluminium Chassis: 15.6" Matte Full HD IPS LED (1920 x 1080)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i5 Quad Core Processor i5-10210U (1.6GHz, 4.2GHz Turbo)
Memory (RAM)
8 Go Corsair 2666 MHz SODIMM DDR4 (1 x 8 Go)
Graphics Card
INTEL® HD GRAPHICS (dépendant du processeur) - 1,7 Go max. de RAM vidéo DDR4 - DirectX® 12
1st M.2 SSD Drive
500 Go SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500 Mo/R, 3200 Mo/W)
Bluetooth & Wireless
GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0
USB/Thunderbolt Options
1 x THUNDERBOLT PORT (USB-C) + 2 x USB 3.0 PORTS
Keyboard Language
15" CLAVIER LAFITÉ SERIES FRANÇAIS RÉTRO-ÉCLAIRÉ MULTICOLORE
So I've used a netinstall snapshot of the current debian testing branch (bullseye) since the wifi chip (Intel AX200) seems to require a linux kernel >= 5.1. Also I remember seeing somewhere that the 10th generation intel cpus (comet lake) requires a recent kernel.
So I had to install some non-free blobs for:
ethernet & sdcard reader: Realtek RTL8411 (rtl_nic/rtl8411-2.fw). It appears to work out of the box without installing anything despite some errors in dmesg.
wifi/BT chip: Intel AX200 (wlwifi-cc-a0-48.ucode)
graphics/cpu: i5-10210U (i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin)
So the following non-free packages can be installed:
Pretty much everything seems to work:

- firmware-misc-nonfree (graphics)
- firmware-iwlwifi (wifi/bluetooth)
- firmware-realtek (eth/sdcard)
Pretty much everything seems to work:
- audio: ok
- usb & usb3: ok
- sdcard: ok
- bluetooth: ok. Actually I'm quite impressed, it works pretty well with a BT mouse and a connection to a BT speaker thru A2DP profile. I've tested this setup with two others laptops and it does not work: audio would drop quite a lot when moving the mouse.
- suspend/hibernate/hybrid: seems ok. Need a bit more time to be sure.
- function keys: most of the fn keys are working (audio volume, mute, screen brightness, flight mode, sleep, ...). Some keys do nothing ( / * - + on the numpad), possibly the keys to tweak keyboard backlight. I've not tested the alternate kernel module to handle keyboard backlight since I'm pretty happy with the default color (blue).
- webcam: ok
- hdmi: ?
- thunderbolt: ?
