Looking at the dmesg it is not a fat lot of help. The hardware is better
described by inxi -bxx, which I give below. On quite another matter
something does disturb me about the new machine. Besides Secure Boot
there is now also TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and automatic online
BIOS updates. So many deep-seated parts are no longer in my own control
To be honest I'm deeply suspicious that the whole purpose of EFI and
these parts is to be able to spy on you from the guts of the machine
where there is nothing you can do about it, bar bin the machine itself.
... hmm looks like my battery is duff too.
Bye the bye I tried to install Qubes on it too but it was interminably
slow. They did say that Nvidia would be a headache, as it is for
OpenBSD. Perhaps that is my basic problem.
