| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>What these efforts generally have in common is a desire to change the commercial dynamic of source-available software.

The other trait they have in common is a view that th | Jul 17 12:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes and no. | Jul 17 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I bought a high-end Tuxedo laptop with this faith in mind. It does not wake up from suspend in the only s2idle mode available. After days of struggling, the manufacturer pointed me to a kernel patch to address this. Indeed, booting with a patched kernel transformed the laptop into a laptop. Obviously, Average Joe won't even be able to do this. | Jul 17 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The problem is a mix-up of the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU with USB4. The patch is a PCI quirk that Linux developers do not want to integrate mainstream, although the quirks.c file already contains many device specific resolutions. Tuxedo is not to be blamed for that. I am therefore 'condemned' to build a kernel for years, I'll do that on every major release. | Jul 17 17:38 |
