I used Kubuntu on it before switching to pop!_OS because non-integer scaling was blurry on the Ubuntu desktop.
Kubuntu was totally fine. I always use around 1.5x scaling on this res/ppi.
Integer scaling works fine (and is sharp) on both desktops.
There are no patches in this repo but actual driver kernel modules.
I don't think any of them have been mainlined but I may be wrong. Whenever I update the kernel, I run a single script from that repo. But I don't update kernels unless there is good reason for my particular hardware.
I used the 5.17 kernel series until two weeks ago and switched to 6 since then. Everything works perfectly fine.
Feel free to PM me for any other questions about this machine.
- robolion 4y agoAn impressive amount of work has gone into that repo! Presumably, loading those modules taints the kernel, but that's a fair compromise for the functionality gained. Some of them e.g. 8852BE appear to be making their way into 6.1. How's the battery life across different workloads?
- virtualritz 4y agoI frankly do not know about battery life. I almost exclusively use the laptop at home when sitting in my super comfy lounge chair all day to code. The most I traveled while working (text editor, compiling Rust code from time to time) was four hours. I believe to recall half of the battery was left after that.
