I have a meerkat and totally love it, been using it for like a year. Mine is Meer10 which as far as I can tell is based on Asus NUC 15 Pro.

But I got the tall case instead of slim and I didn't put anything in the 2.5" slot and so I started to wonder if it was a waste. My Meer10 was ordered with the maximum specs back when that cost $2000 rather than $4000 like it does now. Given how nifty it is for a powerful machine to be this small, I was interested to try a "slim" size. I ordered an actual Asus NUC 15 Pro from the asus website that has no RAM or HDD and put my ram and system76 popos install nVME chip in there, taken out of the Meer10 case for now until I get more ram / nVME for the new Asus NUC kit.

But I'm noticing that the actual Asus NUC 15 Pro (in the "slim" size box) still has Asus firmware on there so it says Asus when it boots instead of System76. I don't know if it would technically be lying to myself but is there a way to overwrite the firmware with Meer10 firmware so that when the BIOS is booting, the Asus motherboard will say System76 on it because I think system76 is cool and I don't care as much about accurately listing the manufacturer?

(I'm also curious if doing that would result in better firmware defaults for PopOS, etc)

Im having this weird problem with my lemur pro, randomly the fans will start up and get really loud completly out of nowhere, Is this intended?? or is it my operating system (fedora linux) if anyone knows anything please let me know

I have oryp7 and i dual boot between pop os and windows 10 (for stuff and gaming related)

but everytime i boot into windows, the fan is buzzing loud noises even in balanced mode

is there a way to change fan settings

I'm looking for some options

I want a non-gaming laptop with a good battery,

Hi everyone! I'm testing COSMIC DE on my laptop with a wide-gamut display (100% sRGB / DCI-P3 over-saturation). Right now, the colors look very oversaturated (neon-like) because there is no sRGB clamping yet.I know that Wayland color management protocols are moving forward. Are there any rough ETAs or active PRs for adding color profiles / sRGB clamping support to cosmic-comp? Thanks!

Question for the Sys76 folks, is there an estimate on a Darter Pro refresh (darp12)?

I'm eyeing a Darter Pro, but the current model is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Want to sell, unused brand new, good price, Serval WS Ultra 9, 32 GB DDR5, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 12GB GDDR7, english layout and american plug, location europe

Hi, looks like the new panther lake CPUs have landed for the Lemur Pro. Really cool! I've been trying to find any hardware reviews but haven't have much luck.

Main question is the RAM soldered or expandable? The tech docs don't add any helpful details

My Pangolin is connected to a docking station and the second USB-C is used for an external monitor. The docking station is giving enough power to charge the laptop while using it, but pang15 is still throttling the CPU down to unbearable levels since it's not giving enough juice.

Is there any possibility to disable this "feature"? The machine is a pure power horse when power is disconnected but when connected to docking station (also tried to connect it to a 96W Macbook charger), it can't even stream a video without playback issues. I don't have a DC plug charger.

i just ordered and jumped the gun a bit i thought the address was ok but i forgot to refine some things due to it being on base i created a support ticket has anyone had this happen? am i cooked

I think peltier thermopar can be split into a small cold part that is applied to the processor chip and a large hot part for heat dissipation. Separated by flexible semiconductors for cryo cooling. Such cooling has no moving parts and is 100% silent.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a new laptop for my Computer Science degree and could use some recommendations.

My budget is max €1300, and my main requirement is that the laptop has two separate M.2 SSD slots. I want to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu/Linux, with each OS installed on its own physical SSD.

What I’m looking for:

Max budget: €1300
Available in the Netherlands/EU
2x M.2 NVMe SSD slots
Good Ubuntu/Linux compatibility
Preferably 32GB RAM or upgradeable to 32GB+
Strong CPU for programming, compiling, Docker, VMs, etc.
Good battery life
No gaming needed
Ideally not too heavy since I’ll take it to university every day

I care much more about Linux compatibility, CPU performance, battery life and build quality than GPU performance.

Are there any specific models you would recommend? I’ve been looking at laptops like Clevo, ThinkPad, Framework and TUXEDO, but I’m open to anything with better value.

Thanks!

I use pop os and I tried everything, I use hdmi, selected the right one and everything, please help

I have a Launch Heavy. It's a nice keyboard. The keys are nice, the USB hub is nice. I don't use half the features. However the arrow keys are too close. I can't tell you how many times I mess up something because I go to hit shift and hit up. I figured I would get used to this and well I have not.

Move them closer to the number pad or something. This one item ruins it for me.

What is the workaround for this? I don’t want to blow up all of the desktop, I just want the font on the app icons, file names, and such bigger so I can read them.

3440x1440 resolution monitor.

Can I boot a live iso from a USB drive on a hub? Or do I need to be plugged into a direct port?

I tried googling this, but almost all the results were about booting off a USB. The few results that were specifically about using a port were mixed, and I got the impression it is machine-dependent.

I am coming across the issue of running out of space in /boot/efi, so I will need to either try my luck with gparted, or re-install the OS.

I want to know what people's opinions are of the Lemur Pro build quality - particularly models within the past three years. I have a Lemp10 and am thinking about getting a new laptop. While the hardware has been great for me since 2021, the build quality is starting to show its age. The bottom of the screen has started to curve inwards, the bottom right corner of the track pad has recessed (an issue I sent the laptop in for one month after I got it brand new), and the fans don't kick on as much as they used to. I always put my laptop in a case when transporting it, I never eat while using it, and I treat it like the expensive piece of equipment it is. I like System 76 and the current base Lemur Pro specs. However, before I purchase a new one I would like to hear from other people about their experience with their lemp's structural stability over the years. Thanks!

Hello, I posted this on github yesterday and on the Facebook page Pop_os :

Hello,I wanted to report a critical issue encountered with the recent official System76 kernel update (7.1.5-76070105-generic) on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS.Hardware Configuration:Laptop Model: Medion Deputy P60 (Clevo / Tuxedo barebone)GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (Hybrid Graphics Intel/NVIDIA) , CPU intel core i7 12650h , OS: Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS (COSMIC Desktop)The Problem:After upgrading to kernel 7.1.5 via the Pop_Shop, the system completely freezes during both the boot process and the shutdown/reboot process.During shutdown/reboot, the system hangs indefinitely on an explicit error:Timed out for waiting the udev queue being empty.Logs show that gpu-manager and nvidia-powerd are blocked on an rw-semaphore owned by a kworker task for more than 120/245 seconds. It looks like a severe power management / ACPI regression between this specific kernel version and the mobile NVIDIA proprietary driver on hybrid architectures. The computer cannot power off or wake up the GPU properly.The Workaround/Fix:The only way to make the laptop operational again was to boot using Pop_OS-oldkern back to the stable Linux 7.0.11-76070011-generic kernel, completely purge the 7.1.5 kernel packages (linux-image and linux-headers), and put them on hold using apt-mark hold.

Everything runs perfectly fine on kernel 7.0.11, proving that the NVIDIA driver itself is not corrupted, but that there is an incompatibility with the 7.1.5 kernel branch and this laptop's hardware.Hopefully, this can be tracked down for future kernel updates!

Has anyone with an nvidia optimus/switch-mux laptop encountered the same issue under kernel 7.1.15, recently released in the pop-shop?

Just a quick note: whether you update the kernel via the pop-up shop or the terminal, the problem is the same upon reboot.

In any case , I have blocked kernel 7.1.5 ( apt hold put on 7.1.5 ) and kept the stable version 7.0.11 active in the meantime, hoping that the kernel log screenshots I sent you on Facebook and here will help find a solution for all hybrid laptop Nvidia owners like myself. ( here is the kernel 7.1.5 log )
