UP AND RUNNING

• CPU: Intel i3-1005g1 (Ice Lake)
• RAM: 4 + 8GB DDR4 (2667mhz)
• NVMe: 512GB ADATA (Upgrade)
• WiFi: Intel AX210 (Upgraded)
• ETHERNET: RTL8111

​

NO DICE

• WiFi: Qualcomm QCA9377
• HDD: Thanks, Acer.

​

ISSUES (I'm aware of):

• HDD:

Not recognised in MacOS, but it's also not recognised in Ubuntu without the sleep wake workaround. Fucking Acer, amirite.

​

• NVRAM:

I assume it's working? I wasted a good amount of time trying to figure this out but capitulated. I can kind of get emulated nvram working but if I create a variable in terminal I can't overwrite or remove said variable unless I install the LogoutHook command again. This isn't the case on a MacBook so I'm not sure about the emulated nvram.

For some reason unknown to me, I get stuck on [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] if I don't include the OpenVariableRuntimeDxe driver, so I'm doing that but have uninstalled the LogoutHook Launchd. iServices is working fine.

​

​

Everything that I got running is functioning pretty well. Not close to the M1 Air at home but Goddamnit it's a whole lot better than both Windows(8.1 through 11) and Ubuntu on this machine.
