Issue tracking?
#1
Is there some central place where outstanding issues are being tracked?

I received the laptop a few days ago and a few minor things aren't quite working and a few things remain unclear - but I don't know what's a known issue, an unreported issue, an issue with the OS, or an issue with my laptop is particular.

I'm unclear on whether I should be posting things here, on Github issues, or on the wiki

At the moment I'll post what I have here, but please let me know if there is a better place:

- Using a USB-C cable to connect a T3 Samsung SSD to the one USB-C port doesn't work. `dmesg` does show that a USB device is connected but no device shows up in the file browser. If I connect the drive with a USB-A to USB-C cable to a normal type-A port then the drive shows up correctly


- If I record in Audacity the microphones show up as stereo, but the two channels are identical (the dual microphone setup was a very welcome surprise - looking forward to it working)

- If you don't run X11 you can't adjust the screen brightness with the Fn keys from the console

- I've never had a machine with both USB-C and a power plug. If I unintentionally plug in the power cable while charging through USB-C - will this potentially fry the machine? Is this something I need to be watching out for? Or will this even charge my machine faster..? The laptop came with a wallwart, but it'd be nice to just only run off of ubiquitous USB chargers - I don't know if this is advisable

- In the default OS there is a a frequency regulator in the main panel. I've never seen a menu like this before on any other machine, but it seems potentially quite useful. In particular I'd like to do performance benchmarks of some software I'm working on and I'd like to avoid external factors like thermal throttling, "turbo" modes and whatnot, so running slower but consistent would be very useful for getting repeatable results- however there is not a lot of info in the Help menu. The different profiles don't have any explanation and I'm unclear on what will happen if I manually select a high frequency. Will this risk overheating and damaging the computer?

There is also the whole "big-little" architecture and I'm not sure how scheduling happens for that - is there some place I can find more info? Maybe a way to temporarily disable the little cores when running certain jobs?

Thanks for all the help, the great community and the fantastic laptop,
Really looking forward to where this is all going Smile
