Thank you for keeping it up guys, sorry if haven't answered you latelly.
Was pretty busy at work, and a few weeks ago I lost my job as a senior mobile developer on a company job cuts due to current covid situation. So things have been a bit tough lately.
Updated a few things on the repo, and wanted to ask you guys how are things going now with your installations?
Did update some kexts and did some cleanup.
Just a few notes on what I could read until now,
1- I just left the SSDT-Disable-DGPU.aml on the repo because it does "ACPI disable" the dGPU, this should save more battery life (compared to the -wegnoegpu boot flag). But as default this SSDT is disabled on the plist (Enabled = false) because it does affect connected external monitors (-wegnoegpu does affect it too, so I removed it).
2- Updated the PNLCFL to the newest one, recommended with WeG. I think that removing this SSDT does break the backlight control.
3- Currently working on a few post install extras for you guys. But I'll be making changes on my repo. This should clarify a bit more in regards of the USB-C hotplug and making the installation a bit more stable.
For now, I'm planning to now add OpenCanopy.efi/GUI with OC as this takes quite much space on the EFI folder and I have OSs that uses the EFI folder (Windows/Debian/MacOS/rEFInd). I do a few tests with Clover sometimes too.
I also feel like OpenCanopy.efi/GUI is kinda only for aesthetics (and it's pretty new on OC, things might change) and I do feel like using rEFInd should make it look good enough.
What do you guys think on adding OpenCanopy.efi/GUI? How are your guys installations?
