I have a Debian 12 install on a 5GB partition (btrfs compression is magic), and the rest is exfat. It has rEFInd as the bootloader, should be pretty good at detecting and running other OSes with bootloader problems.

Try rEFInd. It’s pretty good about detecting OSes and auto-populating its menu, and it has a pretty easy conf file format otherwise. Installing the refind debian package mayybe will also register it with the system firmware, I don’t recall. If not, it can be set up with efibootmgr (which is not the most pleasant program, sadly).

Considering that it has a 2020 firmware, and is built by “to be filled by OEM”, my completely unfounded wild guess is that the system firmware has broken legacy boot support. From other posts here, I gather you’re using a legacy dos-style partition table. Try installing again with GPT/EFI instead.

Eight years of long term support, dude.

The only practical difference between Local and Roaming and LocalLow is that developers randomly pick one and dump your game saves in there.

Have you tried it? Have you tried taking a screenshot of Prime/any other streaming service playing a video?

Part of the DRM is that it’s going to insist on a secure path to the display. It has the video decrypted in the gpu and sent directly to a secured HDMI port.

Now whatever you do, don’t go out and buy a cheap chinese HDMI-> USB 3 adapter that lies about its secure status…
