I dont really want to use that proprietary driver, but I plan on getting an old Thinkpad W530 that has some probably pretty slow NVIDIA GPU. Do you know if these are well supported by Noveau? Would be great!

I want to play around with coreboot, flashing heads onto that laptop and all.

    I mean, the fans should kick up to highest level. I remember thinkpadfancontrol on windows, great software. This never happened and on Linux I never had my fans at level 7 no matter the heat

      The fan did maxed out. Seems it’s not enough. Maybe it’s the hot weather. The AC helps a lot. I’ll also be checking the thermal paste soon.
