⚠️ Kotlin toolchain - ⚠️ Android/mobile development environment - ⚠️ IoT tooling (ESP32, Arduino, bare metal flashing tools) - ⚠️ System hardening and optimization - ⚠️ Backup strategy - ⚠️ Development environment configuration (IDE setup, shell customization) ## Requirements - Lid and Monitor Behavior 1. **Lid closed + External monitors**: Disable laptop screen, continue on externals ✅ 2. **Lid closed + No externals**: Enter suspend/sleep mode ✅ 3. **Lid open + Docked**: Three-monitor mode (2 external + laptop) ✅ 4. **Lid open + Wake from sleep**: Resume all active monitors ✅ 5. **Dock disconnected**: Switch to mobile-only mode ✅ 6. **Dock connected**: Auto-detect and enable external monitors ✅ 7. **Dynamic profiles**: Support different monitor configs ✅ 8. **Waybar auto-update**: Updates on monitor configuration changes ✅ ## Technical Considerations - ACPI events are available and triggered - OpenRC service management (not systemd) - elogind for session management and suspend/resume - Hyprland monitor configuration via hyprctl - DisplayLink requires special handling (no VRR, blur, tearing, direct scanout) - Single user (alexander) - no multi-user complexity needed - AMD P-State EPP driver for CPU frequency scaling ## WiFi Setup WiFi is managed using NetworkManager with a custom `wifi-setup` script for easy connection management. **Full documentation**: See `scripts/wifi-setup/README.md` for complete setup instructions, usage examples, and troubleshooting. **Quick Start**: ```bash # Install from the scripts folder cd scripts/wifi-setup sudo cp wifi-setup /usr/local/bin/wifi-setup sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions sudo cp _wifi-setup /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_wifi-setup # Connect to a network wifi-setup connect "NetworkName" ``` **Waybar Integration**: The waybar network module automatically displays WiFi status including SSID and signal strength when connected. ## Bluetooth Setup Bluetooth is managed using BlueZ with a custom `bluetooth-setup` script for easy device management. **Full documentation**: See `Bluetooth-Setup.md` for complete setup instructions, troubleshooting, and technical details. **Status**: ✅ **WORKING** -

Laptop runs on AC power while maintaining ~80% **Script Location**: `/usr/local/bin/battery-setup` ## Touchpad and Touchscreen Setup **Status**: ✅ **WORKING** - Both devices fully functional! **Hardware**: - **Touchpad**: ELAN901C I2C HID device (ACPI: ELAN901C:00, PNP0C50) - **Touchscreen**: ELAN0678 I2C HID multitouch display (ACPI: ELAN0678:00, PNP0C50) **Problem (Resolved)**: Both devices detected but not functional - missing CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD kernel support **Root Cause**: genkernel was silently ignoring config changes. After 4 rebuild attempts, discovered genkernel uses separate config in `/etc/kernels/` that overrides `/usr/src/linux/.config`. **Solution (Implemented)**: 1. ✅ Switched to manual kernel compilation (no genkernel) 2. ✅ Enabled `CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m` 3. ✅ Enabled `CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y` (critical for GPIO interrupts on AMD platforms) **Kernel Configuration**: - `CONFIG_I2C_HID=m` ✅ Enabled - `CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m` ✅ Enabled - `CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y` ✅ Enabled (built-in) **Functionality Verified**: - ✅ Touchpad cursor movement and multi-finger gestures - ✅ Touchscreen touch and multitouch input - ✅ Modules load automatically (i2c-hid-acpi) **Full Documentation**: See `Touchpad-Touchscreen-Setup.md` and `POST-REBOOT-CHECKLIST.md` ## Power Management Dynamic power management with automatic profile switching based on AC adapter status. **Full documentation**: See `Power-Management-Setup.md` for complete details and advanced configuration. **Features**: - ✅ Automatic AC/Battery profile switching via ACPI events - ✅ CPU frequency scaling (performance/powersave governors) - ✅ AMD P-State EPP tuning (power/performance preferences) - ✅ GPU power management (DPM states) - ✅ Laptop mode for disk power saving - ✅ ~30-50% battery life improvement - ✅ Detailed logging to `/var/log/power-profile.log` **Status**: Fully installed and working. **Quick Check**: ```bash # Check current profile cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online # 1 = AC, 0 = battery cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor # View power profile log tail -f /var/log/power-profile.log # Manual profile switch sudo /usr/local/bin/power-profile-ac # Performance mode sudo /usr/local/bin/power-profile-battery # Power saving mode ``` **Components**: - `/usr/local/bin/power-profile-ac` - Performance profile - `/usr/local/bin/power-profile-battery` - Power saving profile - `/etc/acpi/default.sh` - ACPI event handler (auto-switching) ## Timezone Configuration **Current Timezone**: Europe/Berlin (CET/CEST) - System clock runs in UTC internally - Display time shows CET (UTC+1) or CEST (UTC+2) with automatic DST transitions - Configured via `/etc/localtime` → `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin` ## Kernel Configuration **Version**: 6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64 **Build Method**: **MANUAL COMPILATION ONLY** - genkernel is NOT used **⚠️ CRITICAL NOTE**: - **NEVER USE GENKERNEL FOR ANY FUTURE TASKS** - genkernel was found to be unreliable - it uses separate config files in `/etc/kernels/` that override `/usr/src/linux/.config`, causing config changes to be silently ignored - After 4 failed rebuild attempts, we switched to manual kernel compilation for full control - All kernel builds MUST use the automated build script: `scripts/build-kernel.sh` **Automated Kernel Build Script**: `scripts/build-kernel.sh` ```bash # Run the automated build script (handles everything) sudo ./scripts/build-kernel.sh ``` **What the script does**: 1. Backs up current `.config` to `.config.backup` 2. Runs `make mrproper` (clean build tree) 3. Restores `.config` from backup 4. Runs `make oldconfig` (update config) 5. Builds kernel with `make -j16` 6. Installs modules with `make modules_install` 7. Creates timestamped backups in `/boot` 8. Copies kernel to `/boot/vmlinuz-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64` 9. Generates initramfs with dracut 10. Updates GRUB configuration 11. Logs everything to `logs/kernel-build-TIMESTAMP.log` **Manual Build Process** (if script unavailable): ```bash # Extract current running config zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config # Edit config as needed cd /usr/src/linux sudo make oldconfig # Build kernel sudo make -j16 # Install modules sudo make modules_install # Copy kernel to /boot sudo cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64 # Generate initramfs sudo dracut --force --kver 6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64 /boot/initramfs-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64.img # Update GRUB sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ``` **Saved Configuration**: `kernel-6.12.41-gentoo-x86_64.config` **Key Optimizations**: - AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 specific optimizations - MediaTek MT7925 WiFi 7 support (CONFIG_MT7925E=m) - MediaTek MT7925 Bluetooth support (CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB_MTK=y) - I2C HID ACPI support (CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m) - for touchpad and touchscreen ✅ - AMD Pinctrl support (CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y) - REQUIRED for GPIO interrupts on touchpad/touchscreen ✅ - USB4/Thunderbolt support (CONFIG_USB4=m, CONFIG_THUNDERBOLT=m) - AMD P-State EPP driver (CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE=y, mode 3 - active) - DisplayLink support - Power management optimizations **Latest Kernel Build**: November 5, 2025 - Successfully built with manual compilation (touchpad/touchscreen working) ## UI Theme Configuration - Catppuccin Mocha **Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - Cohesive Catppuccin Mocha theme across all applications!
