linux VS rtw89

If in the USA then System76 could be a good contender, they don't make the hardware just use Clevo hardware, however I've had so many issues with the Lemur Pro and support has been terrible, after significant shipping costs to fix a common freezing issue they sent it back with a broken trackpad, missing screws and the same issue persisting (https://github.com/pop-os/linux/issues/45 & https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1172) tbh they (System76) really don't like any critizism and popOS has been really flaky between updates, they also tend to be bad actors in the community with little upstreaming and a sense of superiority (https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/10/system76_gnome_desktop_fight/) - My machine (lemp9) is basically just sat in a cupboard gathering dust.

The problem is it says the audio is working out of the box, but it isn't. I've talked to the support and I was shown this: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/205

As for kernel 6.3 update, it is going on for testing currently: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/251

I don't use Pop but the repos show 6.2.6

Linux 6.2: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/228 Not Mesa 23.1 but Mesa 22.3.5: https://github.com/pop-os/linux/pull/228 (Merged)

I found this GitHub link that contains instructions on how to compile the driver for most distributions. However, they require usage of make install so I don't think that would work on NixOs.

I have the older version with the 6900HS but it’s more or less the same. I’ve run pop_os as well as fedora on it. Everything works great but you’ll have to compile the wifi driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.

I have seen other people with newer Lenovo systems reporting success with this: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/blob/main/README.md

This is a Realtek rtl8852be chipset and uses the rtw89 driver which does not come prepackaged in the Linux kernel... See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

Got mine working on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 with 7 commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install make gcc build-essential git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git cd rtw89 make sudo make install sudo reboot 0

Yes I guess, its already been reported in earlier versions. I tried to install from code, https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 But it didn't work either.

Realtek drivers are such a PITA. Check out this guys Github: Link he has instructions on how to get the most common realtek chipsets working. Please note, kernel updates will break the drivers for all realtek workarounds and you will have to redo this after each update.

but to my understanding, it cannot be installed due to kernel related issues. so i tried installing this instead with no luck: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git Install 'fix': git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install load module: sudo modprobe rtw89pci

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install
