I tried to share the abstract learning curve on the path I have taken from asking the same questions to finding more useful information. How should I engage with others so that I never have moments like this where I regret my only method of human interaction?

Is there something I said that triggered or offended you in some way worth mentioning and calling specific attention to?
𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that you can create keyboard shortcuts to adjust brightness and contrast of your computer monitors even on a desktop PCEnglish1·7 hours agoNot as of a year or so back. I’m not sure how it works but there are several settings available in the manufacturer’s app that are not in Linux. Only the hotkey settings from the fn+ function keys work. Dmesg spits out a block of unrecognized memory that is something like 8 or 16 bits long that is the likely culprit. There is some odd microcontroller on a serial bus that is unrecognized too IIRC but that I have never seen before like any of the thousands found on LCSC. Last time I checked linux-hardware.org, it looked like no one had solved this one on any of the scans. I’m not motivated to chase it down myself. Poking some registers or watching for the changed location after using the built in hotkey would be peripherally interesting as a general thing to know.

𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that you can create keyboard shortcuts to adjust brightness and contrast of your computer monitors even on a desktop PCEnglish2·8 hours agoHow does one find an unknown register in hardware for a similar but undocumented setting? My laptop has an undocumented microcontroller for the RGB keyboard. I can change it through the extra function keys but only to a 3 level preset and not the real fine tuned control. I can dual boot and change the setting with their app and it is persistent. If I could discover all registers their app uses I would totally ditch w11 and free up a good bit of space. I figure it is just a block of memory somewhere, (thinking like Arduino stuff), but I am clueless about how to find that at OS level complexity… If anyone here casually knows at a conversational social level here, like don’t go looking it up for me or whatnot

The UEFI boot system is tricky and you need to get along with Secure Boot to do this. Secure Boot is outside of the Linux kernel. Both Fedora and Ubuntu have systems for this. Fedora uses the Anaconda system and I believe they do it best. I have had a W11 partition for 2 years and never used it once. It can’t even get on the internet with my firewall setup, but it is there and never had any issues the 3 times I logged into it.
I think all of the Fedora systems support the shim key and secure boot but I know Workstation does. For Ubuntu I think it is just the regular vanilla Ubuntu desktop that the shim supports. This may be somewhat sketchy with Nvidia or maybe not. Nvidia “”““open sourced””“” their kernel code but the actual nvcc compiler required to build the binaries is still proprietary crap.
I have a 3080Ti gaming laptop. It isn’t half bad with 16 GB of video RAM from all the way back in 2021. Nvidia is artificially holding back the vram because of monopoly nonsense. The new stuff has very little real consumer value as a result, at least with AI stuff I run. The hardware is a little faster, but more vram is absolutely critical and new stuff that is the same or worse than what I have from 3 generations and nearly 5 years ago is ridiculous.
The battery life blows and the GPU likely won’t even work on battery. It will get donkey balls hot with AI workloads, especially any kind of image gen. This results in lots of thermal throttling. All AI packages run as servers on your network. If you are thinking along these lines if running your own models, get a tower and run the thing remotely.
I manage, and need the ergonomics for physical disability reasons, but I still would prefer to have a separate tower to run models from.
Anyways, you can sign your own UEFI keys to use any distro, but this can be daunting for some people. The US defense department has a good PDF guide on setting your own keys. The UEFI bootloader for the machine may not have all key signing features implemented. There is a way to boot into UEFI directly and set the keys manually but this is not easy to find great guides on how to do it step by step. Gentoo has a tutorial on this, but it assumes a high level of competency.
Other than signing your own keys, the shim keys mentioned are special keys signed by Microsoft for the principal maintainer of the distro. These slide under the Microsoft key to keep secure boot enabled.
If you boot any secure boot enabled OS, the bootloader is required to delete any bootable unsigned code it finds. It does not matter if it is a shimmed Fedora or W11. If you have any other OS present in the boot list, it should be deleted. W11 is SB only, and this is where the real issues arise.

Yup. I worked a terribly hazardous job that will work you to death at asphalt plants for a couple of years and absolutely only did it for six figure pay in California. Worst people I have ever worked around. Most were dumber than the rocks in aggregate but they always show up, are great at driving in circles, and gossiping far worse than a group of little girls.
