Optimising Linux Manjaro – is there a guide?

[AM]

Hi all, thanks for chipping in to this forum, it really helped me identify which laptop was best for me.

In reading around the F6 pro I came across a guide as to how someone had set their F6 Pro up for Manjaro: updated the BIOS, optimised power usage both at the BIOS level and by adjusting the OS settings, recognised the hinge movement for tablet use, created a method of screen rotation, how to make the microsd card reader work in manjaro etc…

Like a halfwit, I forgot to bookmark it.

Has anyone seen such a guide, or would care to drop a hint for a complete linux noob regarding where best to look for a layperson’s guide to adjusting the above?

Thanks for your consideration!

Most I remember was this, but it ended with using Ubuntu he reported the touchpad worked with no mods.
Could be the latest LinuxMint is the same.  I would recommend LinuxMint if you are a Linux noob.

Thanks Brad!

Saw your message on there – will give xrandr a go 😀

Everything is working fine on manjaro except the SD card reader is intermittent in function. I’ll keep trying to lean my set up for battery optimisation…

Further to the above, some linux work on the hinge sensor to detect tablet mode exists.
