Hp zbook problems
Hello guys and gals, first post here.
I own a HP Zbook firefly G8 (Iris Graphics)
I switched to linux this year and started with LMDE(as a dual boot with windows 11) but it had lot of freezes, tried to work on boot config with help of gemini and got the freezes to like 1 in 2 days till LMDE team did a kernel update like 2 weeks back. even trying the previous kernel at boot didn't help after this.
then i wiped the linux partition and installed CachyOS, same again lots of freezes that even made the desktop go monochrome and garbled when the freezes occured. at that point i i looked at what hardware does inside the laptop and found that linux actually doesn't work with the fan at all. switched to windows side of the dualboot and fan works perfectly.
now i have Linux mint 22.3 hwe and have lesser freezes again like it used to be on LMDE. but again i had to edit the grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= with some help off gemini.
I think the fan still doesn't work as it does on windows. is there a way to make the fan work so it helps dissipate the heat properly?
I do know this is vendor fault(HP) that it's so rigidly built with windows on mind for corporate use and stuff.
Thank you.
