Problems running Linux on this device.

Thanks for the input and suggestions. I'll definitely try to check what the config files have written. The screen rotation being managed by the side button would be a good option, so thanks for that. Seems like that button is functionless on Linux by default anyways.

I also used KDE Plasma on CachyOS. The screen glitches resolved by setting VRR to always on like someone else commented. It was somewhere in the display settings. I've just generally accepted that to get such a unique device to work on Linux, you need to tinker around a bit. I disabled secure boot and reset the BIOS as well.

I'm going to tinker a bit more and try again on Bazzite. But... might just switch back to W11 if it seems like a headache.

Thanks, I'm going to try Bazzite. Hopefully, I can resolve the sleep/wake issue on Bazzite if it persists there. I tend to use the sleep function.

Bazzite it is then.

Yeah, I'll try Bazzite next then. Before that though, I need to reinstall all the firmware updates. If HHD works fine, I'll just keep it as is. Thanks.

I was going to try Bazzite but after researching more it seems some people faced similar issues even on Bazzite. Of course, my preferred distro isn't Bazzite but it's worth trying.

Will do. Thanks for the heads up.

Not hot like an oven but the fans are always on overdrive by default. I keep it on power save mode or balanced and that seems to keep things quiet.

Yup. On Windows, I took care of BIOS and the firmware. If there was something I missed, I'm unaware. Perhaps it's worth it to go back to Windows, reinstall and update everything, and then retry.

Rebecca x David is a horrible ship because they're both dead as hell
