Guide on how to install Arch Linux ARM on SD card for your Orange Pi PC board
This guide is based on multiple guides as well as official instructions for the other boards found on the Internet:
- https://github.com/RoEdAl/alarm-uboot-sunxi-armv7
- https://uthings.uniud.it/building-mainline-u-boot-and-linux-kernel-for-orange-pi-boards
- https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/allwinner/pcduino3
I have gone through all these steps recently and got a working board with my favorite Arch Linux ARM. I hope it will be helpful for someone else.

Keychron keyboards on Linux + Bluetooth fixes
Here is the best setup (I think so :D) for K-series Keychron keyboards on Linux.
Note: many newer Keychron keyboards use QMK as firmware and most tips here do not apply to them. Maybe the ones related to Bluetooth can be useful, but everything related to Apple's keyboard module (hid_apple) on Linux, won't work. As far as I know, all QMK-based boards use the hid_generic module instead. Examples of QMK-based boards are: Q, Q-Pro, V, K-Pro, etc.
Most of these commands have been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 and should also work on most Debian-based distributions. If a command happens not to work for you, take a look in the comment section.
Older Keychron keyboards (those not based on QMK) use the hid_apple driver on Linux, even in the Windows/Android mode, both in Bluetooth and Wired modes.

How to use 4G LTE modems like the MC7455 on both Debian/Ubuntu and OpenWRT using MBIM
The purpose of this document is to get you familiar with the concepts and command line tools involved with connecting to the internet using modern 4G LTE modems on both Debian/Ubuntu and OpenWRT.
This writeup is based on my experiences with the Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7455 modem and a Calyx (Sprint) SIM card, but it should apply to most modern 4G LTE modems.
These are the steps required:
- Physically connect antennas

This gist will show you how to tune your Intel-based Skylake, Kabylake and beyond Integrated Graphics Core for performance and reliability through GuC and HuC firmware usage on Linux.
Tuning Intel Skylake and beyond for optimal performance and feature level support on Linux:
Note that on Skylake, Kabylake (and the now cancelled "Broxton") SKUs, functionality such as power saving, GPU scheduling and HDMI audio have been moved onto binary-only firmware, and as such, the GuC and the HuC blobs must be loaded at run-time to access this functionality.
Enabling GuC and HuC on Skylake and above requires a few extra parameters be passed to the kernel before boot.
Instructions provided for both Fedora and Ubuntu (including Debian):
Note that the firmware for these GPUs is often packaged by your distributor, and as such, you can confirm the firmware blob's availability by running:
