|
== Firmware Configuration ==
|
|
|
|
Not much tweaking of NixOS itself was needed. But we currently cannot automate the firmware setup, so this must be done by hand.
|
|
|
|
=== Before installation ===
|
|
|
|
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
|
|
|
|
* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.
|
|
|
|
* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this. (If you just have SSD it's pointless and just slows things down needlessly anyways.)
|
|
|
|
=== After installation ===
|
|
|
|
* ''Add systemd-boot to UEFI boot list.'' The (uneditable anyways) settings mapping drive UUIDs to HD* work fine.
|
|
|
|
=== Optional ===
|
|
|
|
* ''Update BIOS.'' According to Reddit, this helps with battery life.
|
|
|
|
== Firmware updates ==
|
|
|
|
This device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd].
|
|
|
|
You may use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform firmware updates.
|
|
|
|
== Power management ==
|
|
|
|
Deep sleep is preferred to the default S2 sleep mode, in order to reduce battery draining during suspend.
