told me that there was a bios update that i needed to install. I only found that post a few days ago, while on travel, so i installed the update, but i didnt have my test usb stick handy.

IT FUCKING WORKS.
EVERYTHING WORKS!
wifi, screen dimming, nvidia, and now the audio! fuck yes!

i can finally fucking format and go to ubuntu! so i guess thats gonna be my weekend.

i wonder if synology drive has a linux client at all

if anyone out there has a 2025 asus rog zephyrus g16 (or other model) that uses that fuckin stupid cirrus audio setup (many if not all of the zephyrus and other rog models do) then this is the fix if you want to rock linux and play games and do regular people stuff.

just get the bios update, the mainline kernel has all the drivers we need now!

fuck yes.

#asus #rog #zephyrus #linuxgaming #ubuntu

i think to celebrate im gonna try to stand up one of those dinky, 2002 internet era flavored websites, except instead of making it windows themed, im gonna see if i can skin it with those ancient enlightenment amber themes.

man, now im gonna be lost in a rabbithole for a month trying to find that old theme i used to use as a kid

ohgod.
enlightment e13/e16.
it was absolutely this flavor.

i gotta zero in.
i will absolutely gush with nostalgia if i can find the exact enlightement theme i used as a kid

@Viss rasterman was epic. I enjoyed hacking on e16 back in the day with a large uk Linux crew. Such an amazing window experience
@dcuthbert 16 year old me is absolutely losing his fucking mind right now
@Viss sadly it was downhill in UX world after that.

@dcuthbert yes it was. i really miss that 'bubbled glass' / gem era of design. i want it to come back :D

here's what i got so far, im still tweaking it: hax.lol/retro
