Debian10 Support?

Would it be possible to flash a TX2 using Debian instead of Ubuntu?
Currently the image that is usable at my lab only has Debian on it …
What would be needed to support this?

Hi,
We don’t support Debian10. By default it is Ubuntu OS. For other OS you would need to customize rootfs.

Here is a similar discussion:

FYI, if you did try to port this yourself, then the X server would have to be a version with the ABI version used in the standard Ubuntu install. The GPU driver loads into the X server, and is available only in binary format. As a result, any other X server release version would be unable to use the NVIDIA hardware acceleration.
