Linux on (non-Apple) ARM, what is the current status?

Well, Asahi development was not random dart throwing. They used some VM that can be loaded in an early boot stage, which apple then removed on later devices, making m4 way harder to support.

On Android, a locked bootloader means you cannot change the core operating system. It has nothing to do with how documented or standards compliant the rest of the system is.

Any #Linux users on #IntelArc here?

Amazing! I also tried it on windows, with all the official vendor malware installed, and the fan reported speed 0 and ran on max too!

So I am kinda ruling out Linux issues, and need to go deeper.

I upgraded the firmware of the GPU already, no change.

The PC is rather old, 7th Gen i7, officially doesn't support the GPU. The BIOS is pretty outdated too.

Might it be that?

I also looked at the 2 fan cables, they seem fine but I will see what happens if I plug them out and in again, or plug the secondary one out first.

Previous owner said the cards ran silent, and the case is very closed so I doubt something moved in shipping

I already run the nvtopPackages.intel and it displays more than sensors I think. The VRAM temperature fix sounds fun but I think there is no need right now. I should learn how to build "derivations" which is how you apply patches declaratively afaik.

I think by now the CNI is excluded automatically.

The custom list can be used for your own wifi though, and for a more extreme blocklist (if you feel that the CNI is not broad enough, but this should be an intermediary step)
