[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 :-/

Completely Switched to GNU/POP_OS! - No more Dual Boots
One example would be, I had problems with running native version of Substance Designer. And it had something to do with always using GPU or setting environment variables(https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/153). But I wouldn't know what to look for if a random guy on a forum didn't tell me to use it with NVIDIA Graphics.

Consistently high fan speed since moving to Void
[Update 2022-02-21] It appears that there are two packages, System76-io-dkms and System76-power. From what I gather only the first is necessary. I'm not sure how to install third-party DKMS modules that are not in the official repos. The official Void documentation on this topic is sparse, is there somewhere I can look this up?

Newly installed Pop Os! latest version and it didn't show gpu switchable mode
Initially it only worked with Intel CPUs but it seems it supports AMD APUs now according to this Github issue https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/issues/73

Best practice for loud fans on a new Gazelle?
The performance modes are going to affect how much power the system is using (and thus how much heat it's generating), not the fan curves directly. Those profiles are defined in the system76-power application, source code here: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/blob/master/src/daemon/profiles.rs

Automate power profile switching depending on battery status
The script uses udev rules that are run at specific kernel events. It creates one rule for when the Laptop switches to battery power and another for when the Laptop switches to wall power. Both rules run system76-power while providing one of the available power profiles as an argument. I went with battery and balanced respectively.
