These are my installation-tricks and notes for running Linux on a 2021 Thinkpad P14s Gen2 with 11th gen Intel Core i7-1185G7. It should also be suitable for the Thinkpad T14 Gen2 with Intel as they are technically the same model.
Additionally you may find more AMD specific tips on the gist I've forked. I decided to keep this gist forked as I have used some of the tips they shared and because they inspired me to create my note in the first place.
Sadly there is no entry in the arch-wiki for Intel specific model, but some of the info from AMD one were useful for me. Other useful sources are mentioned in the document in their respective chapters.
Not everything in this doc may be 100% correct as I'm writing this note after having my PC set up and I might have forgotten some of the stuff. I will update it I ever decide to reinstall the OS on my PC.
This is my to-do list what needs to be configured before you can start working on the new Linux PC. This steps were done by me after completing the Manjaro installation process explained in my second gist. I decided to split it up because that other gist about configuring what needs to be done to have a working OS on the machine while the steps here are about software configuration and are mostly personal. Tbh the main reason I'm doing this list is for my future self to remember what needs to be done and in which order after the OS is installed. This tutorial is also very hardware independent and covers the steps needed to be taken on every PC with Manjaro (Linux in general) and not only the Thinkpad mentioned in the second gist.
My terminal text editor of choice is nano
, but working in it with the default config is kinda annoying so the first thing to do is going thru the `~/.na
My review of the NexiGo NS32 Switch controller which tries to be a replacement of Pro Controller.
I'm not really a type fo guy to write a review for the product and even when I do it's short review for something like Amazon. However in this case I tried to find a lot of reviews for this controller before buying. Turns out there is no many of them in the Internet or I couldn't find them. I only found the reviews on Amazon and this one article which was very positive about this controller. So I decided to but it and try it. Unfortunately I can't agree with it as this is one of the worst controller I've ever used. This review is gonna be mostly a comparison of this pad with the official Nintendo Pro controller.
These are my notes from the installation of Manjaro linux on an HP EliteBook Folio G1 with Intel Core m7-6Y75. This was meant to be a fast installation for basic internet things so more advanced stuff like docking station or virtualization are not covered. I also haven't even tried to install Windows on it so I don't know the performance difference between Linux and Windows.
This are my notes from the installation of Manjaro Linux on an HP Elite x2 1012 G2 with Intel Core i5-7200U. This was meant to be a fast installation for basic internet things so more advanced stuff like docking station or virtualization are not covered. However this installation differs a little from my other ones as I installed Windows on this device as well and this is convertible Tablet PC so I was playing around with touch a little.
These are my notes from installing Debian and Kubuntu on HP EliteBook Folio G1 with Intel Core m7-6Y75. This is a second gist for this machine (I've already described my experience with Manjaro installation).
How to blacklist particular defective RAM areas on a machine with Linux?
Well, the first and main reason which you probably guessed is because recently my laptop turned out to have a defective RAM and I had to do something with it as it became unstable to work on. The second reason is because I didn't even know that there is another way than just replacing the RAM (for the record if you can just simply replace the RAM stick then I don't recommend using a PC with a faulty RAM; however in my case the laptop has a soldered-in RAM which makes replacing the RAM impossible for me and pretty expensive in a repair shop). The third reason is the fact that even tho I learned from a friend what I should use to "fix" my issue I couldn't really find any reliable info how to do it now because in 2023 no one does it anymore (it was vastly more popular 20 years ago when RAM was expensive).
Tested on HP Elitebook 840 G3. You may also use this tool to change the logo to your own custom one.
Recently I acquired an used HP Elitebook 840 G3. Everything was fine with it, but it had a custom UEFI logo when starting the OS - it was branded by the company that owned this laptop before.
As it became my personal laptop I didn't want it to be branded by them and I tried to find a way to restore the original HP/Windows logo (it had the custom logo during POST and during the OS startup as well).
