This is my main laptop, an LG Gram 14", with a 10th gen i7 (I forget what year. 2020 maybe?)

Install steps

  • I used my script Gentrine (https://github.com/SomethingGeneric/gentrine)
    • I had to update the Stage3 tarball in the script
    • I also had to manually install Grub, which is weird because the script should have done that for me.

Other strange things

  • All of the steps to get my DWM stack running (https://github.com/SomethingGeneric/suckless) were found in portage repos
  • genkernel didn't find all of the toggles in the kernel config for my trackpad, but I was able to hunt them down with help from a friend.
    • For future reference, it was basically everything for I2C and USB HID/I2C built as modules.
  • Since this Gram is a Tiger Lake device, I had to install sof-firmware for audio.
  • Otherwise, all device drivers worked except for the fingerprint reader (Goodix doesn't have drivers for this specific one on any linux flavor)
