Hyperbook NH5/Clevo NH55RCQ (post-)installation issues (and fixes) with Linux (Fedora 30+)

Intro

This document describes my attemt to get Linux (Fedora 30) up and running in a sensible way on Hyperbook NH5/Clevo NH55RCQ.

That laptop has (at the time of purchase - May 2019) really nice specification, but due to positioning it as a "gaming laptop" the Linux-friendliness doesn't have a high priority. Although, it is possible to run it directly from a LiveUSB with Fedora 30, I have spent (definitely too) much time trying to solve the problems I encountered down the line. In hindsight, I could choose something more Linux-supported, but anyway, I created that list for other desperados to be up and running in several minutes instead of several dozen hours :).

JCenter will be shut down soon, migrate to Maven Cenral

This project seems to use JCenter to kept the binary artifacts. However, JCenter (with Bintray) is shuting down rather soon (1st May 2021, with read-only mode starting with 1st Feb), so it would be good to migrate releasing to Maven Central (and possibly synchronize old releases with it). Depending on dependencies in your own project can also be risky :-).

For sample project configuration see: https://github.com/rwinch/gradle-publish-ossrh-sample

And for sync of the old versions: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/BT/Syncing+with+Third-Party+Platforms

	apply plugin: 'java'
	apply plugin: 'signing'

	version = '0.5.3-SNAPSHOT'
	isReleaseVersion = !version.endsWith("SNAPSHOT")
	sourceCompatibility = 1.5
	//targetCompatibility has the same value as sourceCompatibility by default

	//to enable fancy test reports with ReportNG
	isReportNGEnabled = hasProperty("reports")
