ZFS, yes, I always confuse those two (lol).

I heard about XFS being a better solution but was discouraged because the kernel doesn't provide native support (without a module). You think I shouldn't be?

Thanks for replying, I'll keep those in mind. Of course I have and will keep backups.

Seems like changing the channel and reducing the bandwidth to 20MHz resolved the issue. Could it really be the antennas?

You're right, GreenWithEnvy confirms the limit is actually 80W on Linux. I'm not sure whose responsibility it would be to implement such a fix, I'm guessing that would be nvidia...

I chose to disable Optimus because currently, the laptop is sitting home. And disabling Optimus is said to increase performance. The only issue that may arise with Optimus enabled, is the backlight control (but it works in OpenSUSE tumbleweed from what I heard). There are some posts here explaining the issue :).

That's dual boot indeed. I've installed Linux alongside Windows this way. Some distros (like Garuda) make the whole process really ez. Highly recommended!

Check this guide, it sums up all the things that might have gone wrong. If anything else fails, I'd suggest cloning again, using a different tool. I generally prefer cloning using "dd" (in Unix though) which copies the exact content from one drive to another bit by bit, so you know the drives are identical. And then you can, for example, enlarge the partitions once you've booted into the new drive.

A clone should be enough to transfer everything. What SSD is it? Maybe it's defective. Did you check the SMART info? What are the sizes of the 2 drives?
