  7. ## Table of Contents
  8. ----------------
  9. ### Good to know
  10. - Laptop bought from [Clevo Computer](https://clevo-computer.com/) (old link: `http://clevo-systems.com/`, Clevo Systems). Fast shipping and candies included (Europe). Recommended!
  11. - Came with Windows 10 preinstalled on NVMe SSD (Samsung EVO 960) although I set `No OS` on their website.
  12. - If you had Windows 10 preinstalled, back it up - create a complete backup of your new NVMe SSD. Just in case. I used `dd`
  13. - You need Grub/Syslinux boot parameters `acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" acpi_osi=Linux` in order to access Linux desktop environment as recent Linux OSes tend to freeze on this laptop while loading DE. This rule applies to Live USB/CDs as well.
  14. - You need a recent Linux kernel (4.14 >) for this laptop
  15. - After proper configuration, everything works as expected. Recommended for Linux usage if you can deal with Nvidia Optimus
  16. - If you don't use UEFI (read: you use traditional HDD instead of fast NVMe SSD), you need to disable `UEFI boot` option in UEFI/BIOS menu. You can re-enable it if you [decided to use UEFI boot](ssd_hdd_uefi/README.md)
  17. ----------------
  18. ### [CPU Thermal Control Configuration](cpu_thermal_control/README.md)
