[darp8] Anyone try this FW update 42bf7a6 (2023-09-08)?
This reminds me a lot of FW update a8dd6c2, since rolled back, which came out about 4 months ago and caused problems with darp8 (e.g. https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/469, https://www.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/1692nd2/darter_pro_fails_to_resume_after_fw_a8dd6c2/, https://www.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/168oehz/new_coreboot_update/)

Is there a way to find the "sweet spot" for fans when running the custom firmware?
I suspect that my current settings are still "overkill", so I'm wondering if there's a nice way (in the absence of https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/pull/365 being merged!) to find out what the minimum speed is I can get away with without my laptop spontaneously combusting? :D

System76 support says my HDMI issue is normal and won't fix my warrantied laptop. Is this real?!!
There is an issue about this: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/407 They closed it (because there was an update), but yeah it's definitely not fixed. You can subscribe to this issue to see what's going on, but do not get your hopes high - they will rarely, if ever, update the issue.

Excessive fan noise when on any power mode except "Battery Life"
There isn't a way without flashing the firmware at least once, but there is this PR instead which exposes userspace fan controls, which might work with some of the fan control software in Linux.

BIOS has fake (default) serial number
Issue opened: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/432
- System76 laptops with Intel 10th-13th gen has now a Coreboot bios with management engine cleaner. Is there any other brand offering the same?
-
Any update on framework 16?
What Framework can't offer is Coreboot with Management Engine Cleaner and other great specs. System76 just announced a new fully open source bios for their intel 10th - 13 th gen models: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/blob/77abfadf24c9a0c45ae042cd71d3ce7be26c846e/FEATURES.md

Flashing firmware on oryp10
Hi! I check the firmware-open repository from time to time and noticed that since the initial release a few potentially interesting things have been committed (e.g. Disable ME by default on everything but TGL-U or Support for NVIDIA Dynamic Boost ). Should I wait for the "official" update to show up in firmware-manager? These changes seem to have been released quite some time ago, but there is no trace of them in the GUI. I am inclined to build and flash it myself. I've flashed my ec in the past, but I don't want to set the versions of ec and firmware-open too far apart. What's the policy here? There is this warning here about "normal" users who should not do this themselves. Perhaps I am not normal :-/

is switching proprietary firmware to open source safe on an unsupported System76's laptop ?

Are you interested in a write-up on how to flash your System76 laptop back to proprietary (Clevo) firmware?
I missed the list of supported models, sorry! I guess you could submit an enhancement request to the system76-firmware project.
What are some alternatives?
