Update: unfortunately I couldn’t fix the either standby/hibernate function (which I feel is important in a very portable laptop with a small battery), so am reverting to Manjaro.

Tried the latest stable Debian, but it didn’t have drivers for the network card, so would have been difficult to update, so I didn’t install it.

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

I can point out one that DOESN’T work (damn shame!) :

unfortunately the 24w Razr RC30-021503 (being used with a “32nd” brand usb-c cable) doesn’t deliver quite enough charge to maintain function and charge the battery. I’m not sure what it’s delivering but my expected time ’til charged is getting longer rather than shorter.

I presume it isn’t “PD” (it promises 12v 2a is an output option), but it’s possible my cable is rubbish or there’s some other snag.

If anyone can think of a fix it’d be most welcome – a folding UK plug is an absolute bonus! I may have to fork out more significant dosh for the mu one.

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…

512gb card worked for me in Windows. Cant get it to work in Manjaro, although I dont have another card to test with so that issue may be cards in general rather than just big cards…
