  • Updating Nvidia drivers on Pop_OS! 20.04

    "This program installs drivers and provides restore functionality for System76 machines." https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver I would try installing system76-driver-nvidia as System76 recommends and I suspect that will make the Nvidia drivers available. I'm not sure why it wasn't already installed on your system. As usual, make a backup before trying anything if you're afraid of it breaking your system.

  • System76 Pangolin “Linux-first” laptop with AMD internals now in stock
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Aug 2021
    I have a System76 Serval WS with AMD internals manufactured last year. The laptop's internal display recently went wonky but an external display still works fine. It's annoying to reboot -- the GPU drivers aren't loaded yet when the boot disk passphrase prompt is shown, so the external display doesn't show the passphrase prompt (and importantly: whether unlocking succeeded). It's within a 1-year warranty for parts & labor. I'm currently talking to with System76 support staff to ship it back for repair. The process has, so far, been easy and straightforward.

    In the past they had pushed a driver update that disabled the laptop display when multiple monitors are connected. I had recognized the problem since their system drivers are open source and was able to recommend & review a PR to fix [0]. It was nice to see that patch go in.
