Just a rant really, why make it so difficult to download drivers? I have a PC Specialist account but I cannot download the drivers because the laptop was bought through a company account so the laptop doesn't exist in my purchase history. What mad man thought it would be a good idea to make it...

Hey Spydertracks, I can't do that either because it was bought by the company I work for upon request from myself and they have the login details but here's my spec. Chassis & Display: Fusion Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU): Intel® Core™ i7 Quad...

Thanks for moving UBUYSA. I've not posted the spec of my laptop as I'm not really looking for support at this point as I've been debugging this issue for about six months and I'm pretty confident that this is an overheating issue. Just wondering if it's just me or anyone else. I have opened...

Hey Guys, I've owned this laptop for a year or two now and it's been fine except for an issue with freezing. At first, I put it down to the hardware being new and later versions of the kernel would deal with the issue. I struggled to get any debugging information as it would just freeze without...

I've just ordered a PinePhone to tinker with. Linux Phones are not a consumer ready as they lack many of the key ingredients to make it a success. The same reason Microsoft and Amazon failed. But with all the cool new things like OSTree, flatpak and better hardware support, I really think it...

Make sure you have the dkms version of the driver installed. If so, post again with the output of the following commands and someone will be able to help you for sure. dkms status lspci lsusb If you could dpaste your boot logs that would help a lot.

Hey Gogoel, Trackpad works great. Had this for a few months now and it works flawless.

Nice, I've not heard of Prema BIOS mods until now. One thing I will say is I've not had any weird ACPI issues with my new Fusion IV. Everything works out of the box including the Nvidia GPU. It's the first laptop I've had in over a decade with Nvidia graphics where I haven't had to mess about...

For sure, there are so many layers to the problem and that's what makes it so complex. The only difference with System76 and most other resellers is they tweak their software and firmware for use with Linux. The one thing they do that most other resellers don't (from memory) is tweak the DSDT...

I think System76 do some bios tweaking from memory to make things like ACPI play nice with the Linux Kernel. They have also integrated the same old hacks like FedorePrime and bumblebee into their PopOS distribution. This may of changed since the Nvidia now support this out of the box. I'm out of...

No problem, I'm no kernel dev though. I only know what I do because I've been using Linux as my main OS for well over a decade and have struggled with Nvidia ever since these discrete GPU's became a thing. Nvidia have never been Linux friendly and always treated us like second class citizens. I...

There's been some changes to how optimus works. Previously, optimus was only available via some X hacks like nvidia-run or bumblebee. From version 435 of the Nvidia drivers, prime is supported natively with all the trimmings. I'm not sure because I don't use Ubuntu but they may of updated things...

Not a lot TBH. I sometimes mess about with hashcat and a few other things. I sometimes tinker with Blender too.

Just a quick update, WiFi and Bluetooth now works with the latest kernel updates from Arch 5.4.6-arch3-1. Been using it for a few days and it's a nice piece of kit. Light and ergonomic, powerful and fast and capable of light gaming, CUDA workloads etc. Battery lasts 6+ hours with constant light...

Spec: Base Board: TongFang PF5MN2G CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-10510U Memory: Vengeance® Series 16GB DDR4 SODIMM 2666MHz CL18 GPU: Nvidia GP108M (MX250) Disks: 1 x ADATA SX6000PNP 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe WiFi/Bluetooth: Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 (Works from kernel 5.4.6-arch3-1) Ethernet...

No PD charging and no DisplayPort over USB-C :'( Nice looking laptop though. Time to install Arch Linux.

I have a little hand-rolled GNU pass setup with git managing synchronisation between my devices. I use a yubikey to store my keys and handle two factor. Not for the faint-hearted but works great once configured.

I have one enroute, arriving tomorrow so I'll let you know.

As specified in the title, does the Fusion IV 15.6" laptop support USB-C PD charging? There's a flash sale on a pretty decent size battery pack on Amazon. If it does, I may buy one.

Who knows, it's all very confusing, I have other options already lined up. I think I'll hang about till the end of the week and if it's still not with me, I'll cancel the order and go elsewhere. The thing I've got going against me is the time of year. I think I'll struggle to get anything...
