You can use cpupower to enter different states of power limits. The link is to the arch wiki but I’d bet it’s in your package manager for you to install.

Not sure about the second question.

They’re gonna fall for one of the classic blunders, never get involved in a land war in asia. Only slightly less well known is never get involved with a pedo when Epstein files are on the line.

Garuda Linux -> https://garudalinux.org/

Just checked the fstab on my tablet and they have subvolumes for root, home, srv, cache, log and tmp. I also have snap-pac installed and not sure if it’s installed by default but I assume it is. Their KDE is awesome! Very polished. They have really taken the time to make arch easy.

They have all sorts of aliases in the .bashrc that are there to make transitioning to arch a little less daunting to the average user. Things like reflector to stay current with mirrorlists.

The have warnings when something is wrong during updates with instructions how to fix, taking care of conflicts during updates, fixing pacman lock, garuda-update remote fix to restore pacman to their default’s. Chaotic AUR might be installed by default, not sure it’s been a long while since I installed. Great setup assistant, and installer. btrfs-assistant and eza setup. Might want to install and set up meld to handle pacdiff in the .bashrc alias pacdiff="sudo -H DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff"

If you want easyarch Garuda is it. If you want a real arch experience without having to go through the manual install process, endeavour or archinstall is the way to go. You might have to setup btrfs and snapper the way you want it manually though. Im not sure about endeavour as I haven’t used it in a while. It’s pretty easy to do though.

Set up the snapper-timeline.timer and set snapshots to only snap on update/remove of packages with snap-pac. Also from the arch wiki,

Create subvolumes for things that are not worth being snapshotted, like /var/cache/pacman/pkg, /var/abs, /var/tmp, and /srv.

One of us, one of us!

They aren’t gonna make it free, your still gonna have to pay and likely more in monthly service/rental fees and hardware. If my theory is correct, they want you to settle for less while they control the hardware, host all the services, manipulate all the data and surveil everyone’s movement and conversations. All this made easier with a central hub cloud computing the plebes are forced into due to manufactured scarcity.

So I’ve got a wacky conspiracy theory about this and all the hardware shortages, ai datacenters, etc. The tech companies are trying to position themselves for “cloud only computing devices” being the only affordable option for most people. The you’ll own nothing and like it model.

One of my favorite things about linux is the freedom to choose. There is not a perfect one size fits all starterpack. Everyone has different needs and expectations which is why the starter distro questions have so many different answers. Those answers aren’t wrong as they meet the needs from the presenters point of view.

Debain is a great choice. Nothing wrong with debain. I use it for my media server.

Welcome to your linux journey.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I just pointed you in the right direction. You did all the work. Glad to hear you got it going. This is the only drawback to buying niche laptops. They often require a bit of tinkering for a year or two while kernels get patched.

Nice write up by the way, might help the next person.

Any time and good luck!

I have no nixos experience so I would not be the best person to ask. You could try asking a new question on lemmy with the updated info asking for nixos specific help on the best way to translate the github gist to something a bit more familiar to you.

You might be able to ask the author of the github gist for advice?

Glad I could at least hopefully point you in the right direction.

It’s good news at least that your hardware is working.

I’m unfamiliar with nixos, you might try using different kernels. Try the latest one and maybe a few kernels behind the one your using now.

Does your bt card need firmware?

On the crosspoast there was a comment that suggested flushing the power from the machine. I had an asus laptop that bluetooth would fail after switching to linux from windows (dualboot). The only fix was to boot to windows and shut bluetooth off. I never thought about flushing the charge from the motherboard which might have been a solution to that issue.

I would search for your motherboard make model and see if their is an option to reset your chips. On my asus laptop you unplug the power and hold the power for 30 seconds.

Another option might be to try a windows live usb. If the bluetooth works there try disabling it in windows.

If all the above fails it is likely the hardware. Might take it to a computer tech to see if they can fix it?

Just a thought but have you tried a live usb of another distro? If it works there it’s probably not hardware and at least that would be ruled out.

Don’t forget about the market dropping yesterday. Bet he got a few warnings about open windows and reminders that gravity still exists.

Even trump has owners and they like when they control the market swings.

The stranger…

You are the Messiah my Lord. I should know, I’ve followed a few!

So fucked up!
