hybrid-graphics: wip update to work with new gmux patches #394

Closed Redecorating closed 1 year ago

Redecorating commented 1 year ago

depends on https://github.com/t2linux/linux-t2-patches/pull/5

AdityaGarg8 commented 1 year ago

In the guide having instructions to compile apple-os-set, maybe we can replace that with an easier way to download the pre compiled one from your repo. Something like:

sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/bootx64_original.efi
wget (or curl) the bootloader (probably provide options for silent version as well here)

Also for MBP 16,4, since now we have gmux, can we simply add the .conf file using a Linux ISO, or a third party Linux driver for macOS instead of following the complicated guide?

compiling that yourself should stay a documented option in any case

yeah we should be able to simply that section a lot, i'll figure out how best to do that later.

for apple-set-os i kinda want to see if we can move to:

systemd-boot: use kernel patch for apple-set-os grub: chainload some.efi, then boot linux (or get a command added into grub itself) refind: get its apple-set-os command to work

then systemd-boot will just work, grub will just require installation of a package that adds grub config to run that efi file, and refind will just need the user to edit their config

It would be nice if we could get this merged as well since Linux 6.2 is out

Redecorating commented 1 year ago

I don't think we have any kernels released yet that support it.

AdityaGarg8 commented 1 year ago

Does the main branch of linux-t2-patches support this?

AdityaGarg8 commented 1 year ago

Cause Ubuntu is gonna release a Linux 6.2 soon

I'm going to see if i can backport the gmux stuff to 6.1 stable (it seems to be going fine with the CI) https://github.com/t2linux/linux-t2-patches/pull/9 and then we can say 6.1.12-2 or higher and have the same instructions for ppl on stable and mainline kernels
