I made some progress on this PR, it's ready to review again

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/270763

It's a useful tool to get information from kernel and firmware about the type-c subsystem.
I want to use it to improve what data the firmware reports to the OS on framework systems

@saige:szp.lolleah how exactly should i configure stuff to get the best battery life possible on a framework 13 with the ryzen ai 9 370 hx? i enabled services.tuned along with the ppdSupport thing but wasn't sure if there was more i could do to get better battery life (haven't measured it yet really but it just feels a bit short sometimes...) 20:17:48

@kasek:matrix.orgkasekis tuned needed? I thought just ppd that's already part of the hardware flake https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/framework/13-inch/common/amd.nix15:24:12
@dantefromhell:matrix.orgdantefromhellI havent seen any measurable improvements by running tuned. I've been wondering if some of the more power tuned distros come with specific tuned rules that nixos might not have?16:48:21
@kasek:matrix.orgkasekI've seen some mention of people using the cachy kernel (not directly mentioning framework) and mentioning better performance not sure on power savings. So far on powersaver in ppd I get reasonable battery life. Not macbook levels but decent16:52:48
@saige:szp.lolleahnot sure honestly, thought i had read about it somwhere... but if its pointless to enable then i'll remove it and just rely on the hardware flake enabling ppd.18:28:14
@saige:szp.lolleah also recently switched to the cachyos kernel, specifically linuxPackages-cachyos-bore-lto which i think is the correct option? not sure yet if its having an effect (i thought i was already running the cachyos kernel a while ago tbh, but i must've accidentally reverted it or just completely imagined switching to it in the first place). 18:30:09

In reply to @saige:szp.lol

do you happen to know if the cachyos kernels work with zfs?
19:16:11
@saige:szp.lolleahi haven't tried it personally (i just use the default which i think was ext4?) but the flake im using has docs for using zfs https://github.com/xddxdd/nix-cachyos-kernel?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-use-zfs-modules19:17:19
@dantefromhell:matrix.orgdantefromhellooh sweet, thx a lot 👍19:18:40
@saige:szp.lolleahnp, setting up the flake is a bit weird imo but that's just cause i don't have experience using overlays (i really need to figure those out sometime)19:20:09
@dantefromhell:matrix.orgdantefromhellI'm quite impressed by the matrix of settings available via the `nix-cachyos-kernel` flake. 19:31:32
