Which desktop environment is it at the screenshot? GNOME?

Yes, gnome 3 desktop and bash shell terminal

Gnome 3…Any modifactions? themes etc.? Or is it out of box?

No it is default. Nothing was installed.

Hello,

Can you confirm the exact kernel version strech 9.6 is having? I am thinking on installing it on a laptop with i58300H & Intel UHD 930. I have noticed that only the latest kernel 4.15+ do support this intel graphics/processor properly.

I think it is

uname -mrs

Sample outputs:

4.9.0-8-amd64

Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver includes with package named xserver-xorg-video-intel. It should work out of the box. Try it out and let me know.
