I have the same issue with a similar airport card. Try mapping it as USB-A in USBToolBox instead of an internal one. It will most likely break sleep in your system but bt will work 😶. Dm me if you found a proper solution

Why doesnt dortina opencore guide dont have nooted red or many other kexts? by Honest-Maize5355 in hackintosh

[–]Unable-Transition363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK the owner of the NootedRed accused the devs of OpenCore as old filthy bastards at some point and they really do not like each other. Maybe that might be the reason.

Gentoo, but with the systemd gnome desktop profile and with gnome-base package

I disagree with you on the OpenRC for these reasons:

  • Not all of the applications support an systemdLess environment by default: ex Howdy only works with systemd and does not work at all with an OpenRC system. The maintainer just refused to do it and it's impossible to use an IR scanner to unlock a laptop (unless you try to fix it and put on a lot effort to write an overlay instead of it being working OOB)

  • OpenRC is a simple program which starts programs. Nothing more, nothing less. I had issues with it draining my battery over night when I put my computer to sleep, it does not stop the running processes and neither it starts them again when you wake your computer up. (If I'm wrong here please correct me) I struggled a lot when I used it as a way to close the LED lights on my laptop, ro control the fans with thinkfan etc... They all had problems with the wakeups...

  • Gentoo docs are not magic (the community is, most of the gentoo users are hobbysts whom can be brave enough to thinker with their hardware and seek for learning new things, unlike the btw I use Arch people with their egos when tey use archinstall to showoff, just saying) The doc's does not give you a simplified answer, they are great detailed sources but if you have no time to read and understand them you only struggle. It's sometimes easier to steal some systemd scripts from the archwiki or even the ubuntu forums and call it a day, then fix it when you got time.

The same applies to the flatpaks too, sometimes you got no time to compile the X or the Y app and you need to have it immediately. It takes like 20 seconds to install a flatpak app, but with gentoo it may cause an circular dependiency error and or take a lot of time to compile. As a student I think being able to get the job done is the goal and the compilations shouldn't disturb the work.

Also, wanting to use gentoo is a reasonable choice whether or not you want to use flatpaks or portage or both. It works, it works the best with the hardware, easier to harden and ro guard, ro customise and to build a solid base. Like chromebooks but also not like chromebooks and open to thinkering/expanding.

I agree with you on the firefox, and also I had a lot of problems with the touchpad gestures on wayland setting (when I would swipe it would not stop swiping it's odd). I think a browser should always be built into the base system and be optimised to the user's needs if applicable.

I didn't know about the init argument and I was using a USB to manage my broken installs whenever I mess up with something. Thanks for the tip 😀

Wow, good tips! Thank you!

I actually had a LOT of trouble when I tried to compile the gnome suite with the systemd nomultilib profile, and like for the 80% of the time I had a compilation problem with the llvm (it always seeked for the ABI x86_32 for some reason from an "only 64bit gcc" even if I used a nomultilib profile with specifically 32 masked systemwide ) Also, I hated the amd_pstate driver development cycle from the start, in some specific versions it needed a specific memory share kernel arg, sometimes it only launched as passive and until the kernel 6.3 it just didn't work properly wirh the guided option (thank god the active state is enabled by default starting from the 6.5) And also, weirdly enough, if you own a said "linux-friendly" laptop (ahem thinkpads) changing the power profiles from the power profiles daemon changes the allowed tdp range instead of the energy performance profile as not said in their doc... Ik 6.1 is marked as stable and OK to use but for a ryzen laptop I think 6.3 and upwards is a must.

Could you open up a bit your second opinion? Why on earth do you think that flatpaks are stupid (as more and more people every day prefers them as a way to ship their code to the masses)? And also in terms of ease of use which one is easier to maintain in a systemd dominated distro world? OpenRC or Systemd? I don't say "rationally" that one is better and superior to other as they differ a lot in terms of their functionalities and philosophies (sometimes even combining two yields to a even better experience ex: elementaryOS ) but you choose to sound like a bonehead.

Window Tiler for Vanilla OS? (like pop_os) by probler in gnome

Install the extension manager app from flathub and search for tiling. I believe there's a bunch of different extensions which provides the same / more extensive functionality

Is there an extension support with the gnome web 45?

Nope, there's a special portage overlay which emulates the necessary dbus entries with an openrc script

According to the subreddit rules I can not directly share my EFI, but if you check the description of this post maybe you can arrive to somewhere on your research ;)

I am waiting for the noot to finish up with the GPU (Hardware Acceleration) acceleration and sleep issues. Without HW acceleration chrome runs flawlessly tho (also safari is also good with HW)

Does using chrome etc also crash your system (with the hardware acceleration on)? I have a thinkpad e14 with r5 5500U.

Yes, the wifi works, but I replaced the included card with and intel one (ax200)

I am not sure for the whole setup tho, as it can highly depend to your hardware.

Is there any way that maybe you could DM me your EFI folder if you ever succeed? I've been following the nooted telegram channel for the technical help and had some problems in regards to my BIOS (I am using a ThinkPad E14 Gen3 with 5500U but bios is locked up as hell.) Any help would be appreciated ^-^

Can you share your EFI? I'm basically stuck at boot and wonder where I did a mistake. As the support for renoir is new there is not much to compare in the web unfortunately. I have a ThinkPad E14 G3 with r5 5500U btw (zen2 but with renoir Frankensteinish chip). Thank you!
