Check weather your Linux Kernal has ec_sys support.If the GUI did not open or something seems to not work follow the steps below.This will install all the dependencies which are missing and open the GUI app for the first time.Open terminal inside the extracted folder and run sudo.Mark the file at_startup.sh as executable.zip from the github and extract it wherever you want Usage Secure Boot MUST be disabled, otherwise it interferes with the permission of the script to read/write to EC file. More models are actively added, if your model isn't listed, check the issues tab, if there isn't a request for it already, make one. Mainly made for Linux, as MSI does not have a native Linux client. Check the #Supported section to see what models are supported. Like the company I work at, we are bound by contract so that we can't even commit to a project if it's supposed to be used in the company (so the way around is commit back to a project, wait for it a few years and then see it at some points being updated in our systems, which is super dumb, and it's likely to not be legal anyway considering french laws, but I'm not a lawyer.)īut thanks to PublicNuisance reminder, guess I'll go the way of putting aside a fixed amount per mounth.OpenFreezeCenter provides a UI and automated scripts in order to control MSI Laptops. Quoting: liamThey were fed up of "Fortune 500s ( and other smaller sized companies )" using their work without supporting it. While many users are free riding and it's a bit of an issue (let's be honest, even $5 a month can be done, but it has to be figured out how to explain it and put it in front of people.), it's nowhere near what companies do. Not sure the maths checks out for millions, but a real big bunch of money still. Most FOSS projects donation pages are depressing if they show public results. Can you imagine if every Linux gamer gave just $1 year to something ? The total amount going into FOSS projects would be in the millions. Even if you did $5 a week it adds $260 a year. $20 doesn't seem like much but at the end of the year it adds up to $1040 into the FOSS ecosystem. Every pay cheque I try to put aside $20 to donate to a project I use. Quoting: PublicNuisanceIt can be very easy if you break it down into small bits. So to sum up this little reminder if you able to: give back to the projects you use and love, don't let them fade away. Why? They were fed up of "Fortune 500s ( and other smaller sized companies )" using their work without supporting it. There's been worse examples to bring up like the time a developer on the faker.js and colors.js projects decided to stop doing it, and ended up pushing out a malicious update screwing over everyone using it. I could keep on naming various important Linux gaming projects for hours. It only just recently expanded to handle games from other sources. We also have other great projects like the Heroic Games Launcher, which has become very popular since the Steam Deck release to help people manage GOG and Epic Games Store on Linux desktop and Steam Deck. Just ignore the frame timing spike, Dying Light 2 does not like its photo to be taken, it's a bit camera shy. That's MangoHud in the bottom right corner. Valve do sponsor the development on it but imagine if they didn't or just stopped (there's also direct support links on their GitHub). MangoHud is even used on the Steam Deck, it's the performance overlay. Makes me think about projects like MangoHud for Linux, the awesome way to get a Vulkan and OpenGL overlay on top of games that lets you monitor things like FPS, temperatures, system load, frame timings, benchmarking and more. So if there's something you're using that you want to keep using, and see it keep working, perhaps it's a good time to throw some direct support behind it? Regardless of what's really happening it's a stark reminder that a lot of things we use directly and probably take for granted, or things other bigger projects use, are often developed and supported by single people (or only a few people). MSI are claiming "product marketing & accounting team are dealing with this problem now" and mentioned the war was causing payment issues. On the guru3D forum, the developer on Afterburner noted "MSI afterburner project is probably dead" and later elaborated "War and politics are the reasons" (Ukraine and Russia) and mentioned "the project is semi abandoned by company during quite a long time already" with MSI apparently not "performing their obligations under Afterburner license agreement" with the developer not being paid for their work. While this first bit isn't Linux related, stick with it a moment. No this isn't me asking you to support my Patreon or anything. In light of some recent news surrounding the MSI Afterburner software, it's another reminder that it's quite important for people to directly support projects they use and enjoy.
