Seeking help with linux install.

I am trying to keep Debian installed on my pc but my MSI motherboard keeps removing the boot entry from NVRAM so it doesn't show up when I reboot. So i am forced to boot to windows so that the entry is repopulated on reboot. I heard it's because MSI motherboard removes any entries that are not in the default path (/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi). I tried manually creating this entry with bootctl (systemd-boot) and EFIbootmgr. But this still doesn't stop the boot entries from being removed. And once the boot to windows then reboot only the grub entry to Debian is left and not the systemd boot entry. I am trying to move it to the systemd-boot.

I want to move of windows eventually but I need the debian install to be consistent first.

What are the proper commands for bootctl and efimgr to set the correct bootloader so that it persists after each shutdown? I have the debian install on a sata SSD and windows is on the nvme drive.

As my Linux notebook is really really slow if auto-cpufreq is turning down the CPU frequency I wrote a small shell script to overwrite the governor.

This works really great, sadly it's using up a lot of battery real quick. But in the performance mode the device if nearly unusable outside of the terminal as it is that slow.

Is there any tip how to change auto-cpufreg to turn up the frequency in performance mode if the load reaches 100% for a period of time?

Okay dumb Linux question. I did try to get hibernate working on my Linux notebook.

Therefor I added a resume statement to the LINUX_DEFAULT config for GRUB. Also I added the resume statement to the Kernel parameters and recreated both configs.

In theory the hibernate works but after the machine fully shuts down it starts again, restoring the state.

Any idea what could the issue? I did test it with `systemctl hibernate`

I do have a quick question to the nerd fonts https://www.nerdfonts.com/. Is there any source to get all the icon included?

Seems like my waybar and eww bar is missing some icons working previously as I changed the font for those.

For example there should be a microphone icon here but seems like the icon was not found. My guess is that they do use another representation for those icons, but I'm not sure how to get the correct ones.

There is a thing which does confuse me. Sometimes if I run 'yay' on my arch installation to update all packages entering my password does not work.
I double checked if some modifier key is active by writing it to the console and it is correct. Still I cannot enter the password correctly.

Do you know a utility tool for #archlinux with which I can review packages and remove the ones I haven't used in ages?

I do have a Linux question.

Is there any website I could check if my special hardware like pedals, flight stick or infared camera is supported properly?
