Installation

Turn off Secure Boot.

Graphics

There are occasional graphics crashes when you have both GPUs on. You can either:

  • Live with it,
  • Turn off the hybrid GPU and only activate one in the BIOS,
  • Try the kernel parameter amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd3fff.

USB

When plugging in a device, only power is available from the port and no kernel message that something got plugged in.

This can be fixed by disabling USB autosuspend with the usbcore.autosuspend=-1 kernel parameter.
