Battery life of suspended Acer Aspire laptop
I believe that the BIOS controls battery charging. There's an option to limit battery charging to 80%. I didn't find it in the BIOS but you can permanently set it in either - Acer Care Center under Windows or - https://github.com/frederik-h/acer-wmi-battery under Linux

How to stop charging at 80% on Acer laptop?
Compile and load and set option with acer-wmi-battery.It worked fine from Debian/Ubuntu live USB so I didn't bother installing kernel-devel package on Fedora Silverlue , trying toolbox, Fedora Live media etc

Is there anyway to limit battery charge to around 80% to help protect battery strength in a laptop?
I think it may depend on the brand of your laptop. For Acer I found this https://github.com/frederik-h/acer-wmi-battery/ If you're using a System76 one or other brands you might look for it. Try googling wmi "laptop brand" battery health Linux, or something like that. That's how I found this one

How to install self compiled modules
EDIT: This is the link to the driver's github repo: https://github.com/RemixVSL/iomemory-vsl. I also checked the verbose output of update-initramfs and I don't find the driver in there so it's not adding it.

[FS][US-MI] 2x Fusion ioScale 3.2TB PCIe SSDs
Not plug and play and I'm not sure about bootable. I've only used them on Linux with this post https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/configuring-fusion-io-sandisk-iodrive-iodrive2-ioscale-and-ioscale2-cards-with-proxmox.54832/ + the custom drivers here https://github.com/RemixVSL/iomemory-vsl on Proxmox 7. I also had them running on RHEL7 for a while via Sandisk/Dell's drivers but I couldn't get it working on RHEL8 so I swapped to Proxmox since someone else had already figured out the solution.

Will a fusion I.O drive work as a day to day solid-state drive?
I have three FusionIO ioDrive2 MLC cards each in a different Proxmox server. With https://github.com/RemixVSL/iomemory-vsl, they work just fine with modern Linux kernels. They use a different device name (fioX instead of sdX) so they don't show up in some UIs that are filtering by name. Otherwise, they act like a normal block device. I've got them set up as additional Ceph OSDs.

FusionIo ioDrive2 Windows install tutorial
Download drivers from a year kinda close to when the drive came out. I tried more recent versions that didn't work and settled one from Lenovo's site. Following the compatibility list from this Github page for an open-source version of the drivers for Proxmox, I picked dd_fusion-io_iomemory_sx300_gen3.5_4.2.0.988_x64_windows.exe (version 3 for my model no.)

So I picked up this old enterprise SSD for plotting. Anyone else try these? It has a 17PBW rating!
Yes, I spent several hours before I got it working under Ubuntu. I think the driver available from WD/Sandisk would work fine for Windows. But I had to use the community updated project IOMemory-VSL on GitHub to build DKMS files to support the latest Linux Kernel. I used the Sandisk instructions and other utilities to update the drives firmware and perform a low level format.
