i have an xps 15. annoying with only one usb-c port, but i guess they might've fixed that in the later models keyboard sucks, rest is ok. touchpad is one of the better ones? don't know why people whine over the touchpad, i'm betting it's windows and sucky drivers. works wonders with libinput in linux.

hey, since this thread exists now, we might just well get something useful out of it! what do you people use on new laptops that doesn't have 3.5 mm jack outputs? when i get my next laptop i'll need to have a proper headphone output with mic support and the works. is there a dongle i can get? some usb-c thingamajiggy?

hm this one looks like it fits the bill https://www.schiit-europe.com/product/fulla-4-dac-amp-for-gaming-and-everything-else/ and lol, the apple usb-c to 3.5 mm jack is also a capable dac, i might just buy that one instead. it should work in linux

agreeing with shaggar except keyboards. there is no good laptop keyboards anymore, they dont exist. you'd have to go back to the time when there still were an ibm logo on lenovos to find a good laptop keyboard, and dell had good ones at the same time period too

ok getting webcam working on the dell xps 9320 is hell as it stands now. let me paste from a forum post from arch sachkris posted:Hello! if you do all those steps, and _then_ pipe that icamerasrc stream to a v4l2loopback device of your own making, _then_ you got a webcam you can actually use. looks like the driver is a code dump from some proprietary monstrosity, and i'll guess it'll be some time before we have proper upstream code. but hey, at least it's possible.

ahh, new laptops i had to set kernel command line acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to get suspend to work. without it the screen wouldn't turn off, and the wifi would die, requiring a reboot. what pain we must endure to just get a working machine, especially if it's a new model.

why has s2idle / s0ix taken over from s3 sleep state? that just means new laptops never powers down properly when you close the lid anymore i feel like this has made new laptops worse in terms of power save features than old ones. ok, they last a long time under use, but you can't close the lid and put it in your backpack anymore without turning it off. why is everything regressing

who decides these things is there one engineer at intel who's at fault for just yanking s3 from some intel spec

Tankakern posted:ahh, new laptops Nevermind this, it didn't work. What it actually was, was that those out-of-tree modules enabling webcam are absolute trash, and the solution is adding a script that rmmod's them before suspend, and then modprobe them again after suspend. what the hell are you doing intel Tankakern fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Jul 21, 2022 |
