The SSD max temperature is set very low, furthermore, if temp1 is your cpu/gpu there are two entries with one that also looks to have a low maximum temperature. I would not change a value if you can't identify what it is. You can identify the SSD though! I used to occasionally get cores...

It is possible your fans or motherboard don't support pulsed-width control, I'd remove laptop-tools if installed and use TPS and thermald: https://itsfoss.com/reduce-overheating-laptops-linux/

The Optimus was found to be capable of booting Ubuntu on a second drive, I don't see why Fedora would not work, other than the non-free drivers that have to be installed manually with Fedora: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/dual-boot-spec.73875/ The original poster might have had...

A quick google suggests that AMD chips have sleep/suspend options disabled, perhaps in the BIOS or that they simply are not supported by AMD chips. I have an Intel chip with the exact same BIOS as you and S3 is supported. It might be possible to get the system to suspend to RAM with...

I don't know - but there is a package that might help. pm-is-supported is part of the pm-utils package, it is available for Debian so you should be able to install it. You seem fine with commands so maybe give it a go: https://linux.die.net/man/1/pm-is-supported

Looks like your swap partition is too small for suspend. There is no way I could suspend my system at the moment on that little swap, even with compression. Looks like you have plenty of space to extend the partition though! Edit: Missed out that it might be trying to suspend-to-disk rather...

The graphics card will be fine ('Supported products"): https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/164073/en-us The processor will be fine: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=cpu:intel-6-165-2-core-i7-10750h I will let you find the rest out for yourself, presumably you need to...

Also confirm that the WiFi card works on linux, so it might be that the drivers are not available on the live USB for some reason or you have another problem. The driver you need is iwlwifi

Not too sure about ubuntu but maybe try this in a terminal: username$ ip link Should output a loopback and a wlan0 (or other wlan). If it doesn't say UP anywhere, but does say wlan(something) type: username$ ip link set wlan0 up Replace wlan0 with whatever the wireless looks like if it...

Ok, I see that we can't dissuade people from ubuntu just yet! Distros that are updated frequently usually have the current or very near current Linux kernel, so it is highly unlikely that Linux will cause a hardware compatibility issue for the original poster Unless you are using a 2 year old...

Do you think Manjaro is suitable for a Linux newbie? I was thinking out of the 'newbie friendly' distros, it was a choice of either something ubuntu/debian-based for a point-release distro or openSUSE if you prefer a rolling-release distro. Maybe I need to add Manjaro to the list. My...

I used to have Ubuntu installed but switched to Arch (using the EndeavourOS installer). Arch has a better package manager and is more up-to-date than Ubuntu. Not as newbie friendly as Ubuntu, but I am glad I switched. Before I did, I tried the distro out vitrulally on https://distrotest.net/...

I would trust that the fan is working at the correct speed to avoid going at maximum velocity - I hardly ever hear mine on a relatively lower spec Lafite IV i5, it does sound like a jet engine when it ramps up though! If you do want to increase the base speed you could try and use the bash...

Have a look to see if TLP and/or thermald are installed and active. It might be the upper limit for the cpu temps are set really high in the BIOS and neither of these two have been installed. https://itsfoss.com/reduce-overheating-laptops-linux/#comments
