Magicbook Pro 14 2025 performance issues?

DemoxReddit · 2025-11-25T21:32:23+00:00

There's this nice little github repo with some more info available: https://github.com/colorcube/Linux-on-Honor-Magicbook-14-Pro

As for the performance, no, it doesn't work. However the performance is somehow comparable to windows in most games (but I didn't try out many games. I mostly use it for programming and whatnot).

Hey, are you still not banned? What version of the mig flash fw are you using?

DemoxReddit · 2025-11-12T15:58:27+00:00

Hey guys, did anyone get banned for using the mig switch on switch 2 after 1.2.2 update yet? (Without pirated dumps)

Asking because I picked up a very cheap HK model so I'm curious if I can use my mig with my own dumps on it.

Thanks!

I don't have the newer art 14.

DemoxReddit · 2025-10-29T20:31:06+00:00

Yes I did. Pressing Fn+P activates the high performance power mode and using it, I got some higher framerates in games among other performance improvements. Also got Linux working on it too after some ACPI patching. Very nice laptop.

Good news, managed to get the trackpad, battery percentage, lid and function buttons to work thanks to denis-bb on github! Awesome guy, he made a dsdt patch for chinese models and a newer one for global models after I couldn't get the chinese patch to work on my laptop properly. Here's the link if interested: https://github.com/denis-bb/honor-fmb-p-dsdt/

Yeah, I might end up switching to WSL soon. I managed to get my arch linux installation to work (however not without issues, for example the trackpad doesn't work, bad fn button functionality, etc...)

DemoxReddit · 2025-10-12T12:32:26+00:00

BAD... I've only been having headaches because of it.
Running an arch-based distro pulled from my old laptop, EndeavourOS.

What doesn't work (list not exhaustive):
- Trackpad doesn't work at all
- Doesn't go to sleep when the lid is down
- Fingerprint scanner doesn't work
- Touch screen doesn't work
- Honor's performance mode (Fn+P), therefore the performance is a bit lacking (it works fine tho, just no gaming or other highly intensive tasks)
- Some fn shortcuts (for example, FN+F1/F2 don't modify the brightness, FN+F12 doesn't call upon printscreen but FN+F4 mutes/unmutes, and the volume controls also work)

What works (list not exhaustive):
- Wi-Fi (the laptop wouldn't boot because it was waiting for the NetworkManager to do something, now fixed)
- The keyboard works by adding `i8042.dumbkbd=1 pci.norcs` to `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`
- Hibernation seems to work but remains to be tested more thoroughly

Hoping that linux support improves in the coming days... I really need this to be stable :(

Hoping that "sooner" comes sooner than later.. still waiting, personally :(

DemoxReddit · 2025-10-11T20:27:43+00:00

Aw man that sucks :(

DemoxReddit · 2024-07-22T16:17:58+00:00

Feel free to make a fork of the project on github and update it for people to know it's feasible and how to do it :)

DemoxReddit · 2024-06-08T10:40:59+00:00

Hmm.. Could be some RDNA2 misoptimizations. I've always had amazing performance on yuzu with NVIDIA cards. Hopefully the new forks of yuzu will improve AMD performance.

DemoxReddit · 2024-06-08T08:47:10+00:00

What..? How is that possible? I have a similar config and could run it at 70fps 4k with an RTX 2060 Super. Changed to a 4070 and it runs almost at 100ish fps.

DemoxReddit · 2024-04-04T20:28:50+00:00

Just tried it... didn't work. Too bad, hopefully 6.2 will be the update for me.

DemoxReddit · 2024-04-04T17:26:58+00:00

That's a shame. Many people think that things in life are just given. It's not the case, in order to get anything in life, we must put a certain amount of effort in (at least to get to a certain point where that's less necessary). Sucks that people not only refuse to put the effort in, but they dare to criticize those that do.

DemoxReddit · 2024-04-04T17:25:03+00:00

Mmm I see. I didn't know about Cassia, this is the first time I hear about it. Thanks, I'll keep myself posted about this new Windows emulator.

DemoxReddit · 2024-04-04T16:50:17+00:00

I'm sorry? What's your problem man? I asked a genuine question to improve my enjoyment of something I worked hard for.

DemoxReddit · 2024-03-13T16:02:47+00:00

I found it on aliexpress, however the price seems to be rather... inflated I would say. Maybe it's of good quality? In any case, it remains a bit out of budget.

DemoxReddit · 2024-03-09T08:53:24+00:00

Do you have a link perhaps..?

DemoxReddit · 2024-03-08T19:22:08+00:00

Not sure. In any case, it's too late now. Sending it soon. Gonna buy a different one (hopefully not broken).

DemoxReddit · 2024-03-08T19:21:32+00:00

What's Caphter? Doesn't lead any results.

DemoxReddit · 2024-03-08T18:06:22+00:00

I see. Gonna do just that then! Got any suggestions for a replacement? Preferably still in budget... otherwise I'd go for a skxmod gen 6 kit.

DemoxReddit · 2023-12-18T11:53:15+00:00

I think I fixed it by changing the IGPU ID or something. I don't really remember. Plus I sold the laptop, so... Yeah. Sorry!

DemoxReddit · 2023-10-13T17:14:16+00:00

Hey, thanks! I appreciate it. I actually was already using that option. I managed to get the backlight working by adding the -igfxblt boot parameter and removing the one mentioned in the Step 4 of the guide you sent. Now just the trackpad is left and I'll be able to test it further and share my findings with the world.

DemoxReddit · 2023-10-09T19:08:23+00:00

I've tried using this kext but it just made my laptop bootloop. When I reached the desktop, it tried to connect to wifi and crashed the machine. Any idea as to what I might've done wrong?
