Peripherals often decide whether suspend/resume is smooth or painful. This guide explains how Linux handles virtual devices, USB wake-up sources, and other hardware; how to inspect and control their power states; and how to diagnose and fix misbehaviour.
Troubleshooting NVIDIA drivers on Linux: why they break suspend/resume, how to safely remove and reinstall them across distros, and practical tweaks—from kernel parameters to systemd hooks—to restore stable sleep and power management.
After years of wrestling with Linux drivers, disconnecting Bluetooth, and cursing at the sky, I finally replaced the Broadcom Wi-Fi card in my Dell XPS 15. A $10 Intel upgrade turned my cranky laptop into a wireless ninja. Here’s the full step-by-step guide.
A hands-on guide to tuning Linux power management: from sysctl and GRUB kernel parameters to module options and verification. Learn to squeeze extra battery life, cut heat, and balance performance with stability-tested power-saving profiles.
Learn how to diagnose Linux power-management problems by reading and interpreting logs. This guide shows where to find suspend, resume, battery and wake-up events, how to filter them, and how to pinpoint the driver or device causing issues.
During the holidays in Israel, with work quiet and packages delayed, I decided to turn my budget AI server into a gaming rig. One GPU, Linux, and BioShock Infinite — a nostalgic trip from laggy memories to 4K Ultra glory, complete with fan noises and laughs.
A detailed step-by-step guide to fix suspend/resume issues on the Dell XPS 15 9550 (and similar laptops). Learn how to update firmware, install NVIDIA drivers, tweak kernel parameters, and use system-sleep scripts for reliable sleep and wake.
Upgrading my AI super server, I installed a used RTX 2080 GPU. The packaging and “appearance” of the card left much to be desired, but function matters more than looks. With 11 GB of VRAM, this upgrade should bring a solid boost to my AI workloads.
I upgraded my AI super server with a new network card to boost connectivity and performance. In this post, I walk through the installation process and share the key steps to get it running smoothly
While benchmarking my AI server, I explored CPU-X — the Linux alternative to CPU-Z. It delivers detailed hardware insights on CPU, memory, GPU, and more, with both GUI and CLI modes, making it a must-have tool for system profiling and monitoring.
