 Hello all!

 See report here [1]. We have ~400 computers tested on Debian 11 at the moment. 10% of them are probed from LiveCDs, others are installed systems.

 The main goal of the report is to make sure that we have not lost support for any hardware configuration classes. To achieve this, I compared it with the similar report for Debian 10 [2] in order to find significant discrepancies. Good news that we've covered all hardware classes tested on Debian 10 and differences in statistical indicators are relatively small. Particularly, I don't see any noticeable regression in use of AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards [3]. Either affected graphics cards are rare or people do not have problems with installing additional firmware packages.

 Report details and logs (Xorg, dmesg, etc.) are available in the full-feature report [4].

 Thanks to all for participating in the report! Looking forward to get more Debian hardware probes from the community to monitor hardware support status and trends.

So, because I can't find it in the document, does Debian 11 support
nVIDIA Optimus?

And, does Debian 11 support the Intel i7 Haskell architecture?

Sure. It's 2nd most popular architecture among Debian 11 users: https://github.com/linuxhw/TestCoverage/tree/main/Dist/Debian_11#cpu-microarch
