|
|
|
There are two major hardware variants. Intel-only and NVidia
|
|
|
|
This has only been tested with the Intel-only variant
|
|
|
|
== Firmware Configuration ==
|
|
|
|
Enter the bios by repeatedly pressing F2 when the laptop turns on
|
|
|
|
=== Before installation ===
|
|
|
|
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
|
|
|
|
==== Method One ====
|
|
|
|
* Click ''Restore Settings'' button a select ''BIOS Defaults'', not to be confused with ''Factory Settings''
|
|
|
|
==== Method Two ====
|
|
|
|
* ''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
|
|
|
|
== Optional ==
|
|
|
|
=== Firmware upgrades ===
|
|
|
|
Note that this device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd].

To perform firmware upgrades just activate the service
|
|
|
|
<code>
|
|
services.fwupd.enable = true;
|
|
</code>
|
|

Then use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform updates.
|
|
|
|
