From what I can tell, Nvidia drivers only started to git gud at doing Wayland around version 555.

Big brands have the money to provide longer support, but not the inclination lol.

“Drivers” are only when you do ring 2 message passing in a hurd microkernel. Everything else is just “late-bound function call steering that happens to satisfy hardware-specific device communication and control”.

Disable “Fast Startup” so that Windows actually shuts down when it shuts down.

Nouveau or Nvidia’s own drivers? X11 or Wayland?

Looks like you need winetricks to install CJK_fonts.

I thought this was pretty solid talk on SElinux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WOKRaM-HI4

ARM systems don’t have the whole ACPI thing to describe what hardware is where. Linux has to bodge together its view of the system with a devicetree instead. If you don’t know what device IP blocks are integrated into the SOC (and locked behind an NDA), good luck blindly guessing. You don’t even get EFI booting, you get shit like “the rpi gpu runs its own proprietary bootloader lol”.

Has Qualcomm ever been helpful?

The simplest way to opt out is to “install any other OS instead”.

Hahahaha NO

The hard part is finding a stable identifier, instead of “this interface is know as sink 48 at this exact instant. It will be a completely different number tomorrow. It might even be a potato emoji, who knows?”

I’ve had some suspend adventures too, but my experience is just on Intel laptops.

About a month ago, Debian Trixie had a regression that made my laptop wake up right after a suspend attempt. Afaict, it was not directly a kernel change, something in userland changed and triggered problems. This pm_async thing fixed it. Frankly, I don’t know why “async” power management is a thing anybody would want. Taking a whole extra millisecond to suspend in a more reliable way seems like a no-brainer.

echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_debug_messages # why would you ever want to not syslog it?? echo 0 > /sys/power/pm_async

Cat /sys/power/pm_wakeup_irq may tell you something about whomst is responsible for sleep failure. Anyways, suspend is the worst thing to diagnose good luck.

Kids can’t even read a sundial nowadays, smh

Fun fact: SFC is short for “Super FamiCom”, a tribute to the last piece of home consumer electronics ever made that just worked without having to fuss with it.

I just fired it up on an N4000 potato, the whole thing is amazing!

Yeah but what they do ain’t worth doing.

I think the screws are supposed to be “captive”, they unscrew from the bosses but still stay with the lid so you don’t lose em.

JNot sure if the flash is “gone”, the drive does still believe it has 256GB. I have seen drives die to where they completely forget their identity and are now “Phison controller with 32KB storage”. All they have left is either some absurd concept of falling back to using the controller’s on-die EEPROM, or they’re telling you they have the smallest possible CHS size that isn’t 0 just as a courtesy.

But yeah, the drive does look too mentally broken to continue.

You cut off the enumeration bit, but SMI01 USB DISK01 doesn’t look like any brand I recognize. Flash sticks are cheap and pretty amazing, but one thing they are not is “terribly reliable”. Better luck with the next stick, I mildly recommend making it a Samsung or Sandisk.
