Tested Hardware

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H CPU @ 2.4GHz
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • HDD: 2 TiB SSD
  • Screen: 14" WQXGA+ (2880x1800)
  • Graphics: Intel Raptor Lake-P [Iris]. nVidia graphics disabled preemptively.
  • Display: Wayland.
  • Input: trackpad

Firmware Configuration

No tweaking to get a useful system, but some is needed. - Sleeping doesn't work properly and overheats the system. - Fans spin even when the system is at almost no load and CPUs report 30°C-35°C

Installation

Before installation

I don't recall what I did very well, probably just disabled secure boot as there's no nice and meaningful way of using it yet.

After installation

Optional

  • Run fwupd

Troubleshooting

Annoyances

It's easy to tap the power button

It's better to ignore short tapping the power button,

```nix

  services = {
    logind = {
      if options.hardware.ignorePowerButtonTap
      extraConfig = ''
        # Don’t shutdown when power button is short-pressed
        HandlePowerKey=ignore
      '';
    };
  };

```

Broken Functionality

Sleeping works, but overheats the machine

This drains battery faster than keeping the machine on and it might get you backpack really warm.

Best workaround I found so far is to increase the time to take an action, and use shutdown as the action. This is *not* a reasonable workaround for most.

```nix

  services = {
    logind = {
      if options.hardware.ignorePowerButtonTap
      extraConfig = ''
        # Shutdown until sleep/hibernate works
        IdleAction=poweroff

        # Ideal case (hibernation onto / isn't working for me, but probably works with a swap partition)
        # When idle, sleep, but hibernate if it's been too long.
        # IdleAction=hybrid-sleep
      '';
    };
  };

```

I'm hoping that suspend-then-hibernate will make this a non-issue in practice, but haven't spent time on it.
