bugtracker VS MonitorControl

Shot in the dark, but it could be broken TRIM on the drive? Samsung drives are notoriously buggy with MacOS (with a few exceptions). See here and read on.

Do you mind trying to deactivate AppleCpuFmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock in your config.plist (Kernel) but also add those 2 kext : https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/190 (CpuFriendDataProvider.kext) along with its dependency CpuFriend.kext? https://github.com/acidanthera/CPUFriend

Phison controllers used to be great but many have broken TRIM in Monterey and higher.

Recently I needed to upgrade my drive, and after reading this: https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/192 I decided on a WD Black SN770. I wanted to make sure it was a drive that behaved well with MacOS. This Github thread also calls out the Phison E12 as being troublesome.

You might be hitting an issue with the “trim” firmware implementation on your nvme drive. Unfortunately the Samsung 970 pro has a buggy/badly implemented trim algorithm that macos seems to hit on boot. The hackint*sh community has reported on it for a while now: see https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/192 Unfortunately I haven’t heard of any fixes, accept the longer boot times (the more time the system has been running for last since the last boot, the longer the next boot will be as there will be more block to for the trim algorithm to sift though.) Or replace it with a different / more supported model. The attached link should help with know models. Good luck.

I think this is the page you need: https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/192

GPU: AMD RX6600 is fully supported by Apple. Check this for further information on the support for the RX6600 on macOS. You should add this in boot-args:

I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:

Just wanted to put in a plug for the MonitorControl app. I just installed it, and it enables brightness control for the QN700B from Apple's keyboard. So great not to have to pull up any Samsung menus to adjust it.

Let me introduce you to Monitor Control:https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl

Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

You can with monitor control app

I'm glad you asked! I control the volume of them thru the monitor using the back/forward buttons on my mx master 3 mouse via the MonitorControl app, it's great!

Installed https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl and worked like a charm, big thanks!

As a fellow Mac + OLED TV owner, I think you'll appreciate these too. MonitorControl to access brightness settings through your keyboard and Hazeover to darken background and prevent burn-in.
