The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Fan Control on Summit B15
On Linux, there is isw. Using this tool, I can manually disable this fan by writing the value of 0 to the memory address which represents GPU fan level 1. There is also GPU fan level 0 which already contains the value 0 but this seems to be ignored (for CPU, level 0 plays a role on the other hand). Moreover, the address which is supposed to show the GPU temperature just displays 255 (which would imply meltdown). Maybe there is some confusion, because the device doesn't have a dedicated GPU (just Intel Iris Xe).

You need this. ISW

Battery Stuck at 53% (MSI Alpha 15)
You must have enabled battery conservation mode in msi dragon center before switching to windows. In order to fix this you have to modify the ec. Use isw tool to alter the ec config and control the fan/battery level. If nothing works then switch back to windows and disable battery conservation then install linux.

thermal/power management for laptops
disable thermald, relying on my fan profiles (https://github.com/YoyPa/isw for MSI laptops) and tweaking my tlp config. if that fails i will use the default config and try auto-cpufreq to limit my max clock speeds

Anyone with a (GL63/GE75/other?) 9SE model wanna check something for me real quick?
Fast-forward about a week, and I'm trying to set up my fan curves on a refreshed Arch Linux install, when I notice something that doesn't quite look right. Dumping the EC with isw shows the EC firmware as 16P5EMS1 - in other words, the embedded controller firmware for a GP63 board, which shouldn't match any 9th-gen models. It's not like it's a leftover bit of cached data from the old board, either; it's what shows up in the UEFI menu, even after flashing a newer BIOS containing the 'proper' EC firmware. Given the apparent mismatch, it doesn't seem like the firmware listed on MSI's page for the GE75 would pass the pre-flash checks, and it'd be a dumb idea to try and force it.

Final call for maintainers: Help Save GWE from Abandonment
Hey, just FYI, the `master` branch was already migrated to Rx 4.0.x 9 months ago: https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe/-/commit/1b64e99846e8463194232ea6a1a1a3bae50b6466

Green With Envy will no longer open
My guess is that the update was a "cascading" update caused by the EOL of Gnome 42 Platform.

Really bad battery life on a Lenovo Yoga 7i
On my system Lenovo Legion 5i i7-10750H with a RTX2060 on hybrid mode I got 15Wh. I'm starting to test with auto-cpufreq + LenovoLegionLinux + GreenWithEnvy (I hope it gets a new maintainer) setting the dGPU to 1W (which it never reaches, never less than 6w).

Nvidia on Linux state
I'm happy with NVIDIA on Linux for the most part. I stick with X11 for the overclocking Green with envy and g-sync, plus DLSS 2 and ray tracing works in every game I've tried besides hitman, however DLSS 3 frame generation doesn't work and no idea when/if it will.

Nvidia settings shows wrong clock speeds
I am not sure if it supports 1060, but search up GreenWithEnvy. It has maximum power draw control and displays the slowdown temperature among other things
