I'm trying to figure out what to run on my first Nvidia laptop -- a 2017 HP Pavilion with Intel and Nvidia GeForce 940MX.

I've learned a lot in the past couple of days:

The current version of Nvidia's driver (590) has dropped my graphics chip. It's still supported by 580 and older drivers.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/

590: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/258750/

580: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/259042/

I've used Linux and BSD for so many years and never had to even think about this until now.

I replaced the battery for my Dell laptop and was curious to see what was inside. I was vaguely aware you can check how far gone your batteries are by reading out the voltage and to my surprise they read 4.21V, 4.25V and 4.28V. According to my laptop battery information, the total capacity was around 35% (14 Wh).

I know very little about batteries but given all three cells are seemingly fully charged, it is possible there's an issue with the circuit of the battery? I'm just curious to learn more about these batteries as it seems wasteful (and perhaps dangerous?) to recycle these given they're fully charged.

After the very timely death of my 2017 HP Envy (all Intel) laptop, I just managed to move the SATA SSD and the 16 GB RAM over to my daughter's retired 2017 HP Pavilion (Intel + Nvidia).

The Bluefin install I was using on the dead laptop booted right up and is working as if nothing happened.

FYI, this is my first time using Nvidia.

The old laptop had a spinning Win 10 drive and 12 GB of RAM (one 8GB stick, one 4GB -- who does that?? HP, I guess.)

So maybe someone on fedi can help me here, but after updating my #ThinkPad #T14 #BIOS to 1.17, #fedora can no longer #suspend normally and freezes and requires a hard power-off each time. I tried some #grub stuff, many suggested fixes I found on the internet and a newer kernel (6.18 instead of 6.17) but nothing worked. So I think it may be a #Lenovo issue.

Thanks!

Ahh workstation back online with 3dprinting. Even upgraded a bit and spread the monitor across the laptop screen.

Are there any reliable aftermarket laptop battery brands at all?

All I have read about lately have lots of reports about bad initial capacity, rapid deterioration, even system instability.

Surely the tech sustainability people here have some advice?

If you want to take privacy and security to the next level check out Novacustom laptops. (Dutch based)
They provide laptops with opensource firmware, very ethical company in my opinion!
And they joined the right-to-repair group so the devices comes with qualtiy and waranty label and offer spare parts too.
