firmware VS linux

I have the previous version of this product (Starlite MkIV) and I am very happy with it. Just note that while the firmware is based on coreboot, the source code is not publicly available (see https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/tree/master/StarLite).

Create an issue there https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware . I think They will update copr package

From Adjust fan curve #62 it's not clear for me if the same fan curve adjustments are already included for Intel though.

Spent this evening trying to figure out why my laptop won't charge. Looks like it is a known issue with latest ITE/EC - https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/issues/90. Downgrading to ITE 1.01 via EFI Shell fixes the problem.

Coreboot Firmware went from 4.16 to 8.20 (wow alot of updates_) https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/tree/master/StarLite/MkIV/coreboot

You can download the "8.25.rom" from the Starlabs github and use the following command

See https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/tree/master/StarBook/MkVI-AMD

sudo pacman -Sy sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable sudo pacman -Sy flashrom-starlabs wget https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/raw/master/StarBook/MkVI-Intel/coreboot/8.22/8.22.rom sudo flashrom -p internal -w 8.22.rom -i bios --ifd -N

Don't know how old your "old surface tablet" is, but I run postmarketOS on the very first Surface RT and it works fine. It uses the kernel from https://github.com/grate-driver/linux and requires a one-time semi-complicated procedure to bypass Secure Boot and switch away from Windows.

>On screen keyboard was completely broken with Wayland

It's a tegra30 so I don't run a wayland compositor on it, just Xorg with i3. I haven't tried an OSK inside i3, but the OSK at boot time to enter the disk encryption password (unl0kr) works fine.

>X had trouble with screen rotation.

The kernel supports reading the accelerometer sensor so I wrote a script to listen to iio-sensor-proxy signals and run `xrandr` to rotate the screen accordingly.

>I don't know how much touch screen only computers are considered during development of desktop environments and display servers

Phosh, Plasma Mobile and SXMO are all DEs / compositors for phones and tablets, so they support touch fine. I run Phosh on my phone and have none of the problems you described.

We are developing a newer kernel based on grate-linux (Linux mainline kernel with experimental patches for Tegra devices, see https://github.com/grate-driver/linux). This port is in a good shape overall. However, many features still do not work at the moment (sound, openGL).
