Accessibility

The BIOS offers two modes of operation, GUI and Simple Text.

The GUI can be navigated to some degree via the keyboard. Left and arrow keys to move the selection and Space to activate.

For full keyboard support switching to simple text would likely be better.

That can be accomplished by:

  • Selecting and activating Config on the left side under Setup
  • arrowing until the drop down to the right of Setup UI is selected
  • active the drop down and select Simple Text
  • (save and exit)
Note: Blind users may want to request the help of a sighted person to change BIOS settings

Audio

You should remember to unmute the volume.

Webcam

If the integrated webcam is not accessible as /dev/video* and does not appear in the output of , installing may help.

Firmware

fwupd does not support this device yet.

UEFI

Additionally, there is a UEFI option for customizing the Power profile that by default is tuned to and is recommended to be set to . This setting has been shown to reduce issues with #Power Management.

Power Management

Various issues have been reported with resuming from suspend. In order to mitigate them follow the best practices described in #UEFI.

On systems that use full-disk encryption with sd-encrypt it might be preferred to switch to using the mkinitcpio hook.

gollark: I don't see what your analogy is analogising then.
gollark: Towns and cities are just human-imposed and very fuzzy categories for groups of buildings and infrastructure and such.
gollark: But this is basically just stating your desired conclusion slightly indirectly. Why not include villages? Or districts of a city? Or individual houses?
gollark: Cities are sort of kind of big towns.
gollark: Literally nowhere is actually an independent self-sustaining civilization.
