I dont really want to use that proprietary driver, but I plan on getting an old Thinkpad W530 that has some probably pretty slow NVIDIA GPU. Do you know if these are well supported by Noveau? Would be great!
I want to play around with coreboot, flashing heads onto that laptop and all.
The overheating isn’t much of an issue in other cases. When I’m not building packages, the temperature is on safe level. I’ve also ran Debian & Linux Mint on it with no issue (with nouveau)
I don’t have any writeup on it, unfortunately…
I mean, the fans should kick up to highest level. I remember thinkpadfancontrol on windows, great software. This never happened and on Linux I never had my fans at level 7 no matter the heat
The fan did maxed out. Seems it’s not enough. Maybe it’s the hot weather. The AC helps a lot. I’ll also be checking the thermal paste soon.
