Hello Slimbook Community,
I recently purchased a Slimbook EVO 14" (model EVO14-A8) and have installed Manjaro Linux KDE Edition on it. I would like to ensure that my laptop is running optimally with all the necessary Slimbook-specific software packages.
I've found the following Slimbook packages in the Manjaro extra repository:
slimbookintelcontroller 1.0beta-2 - Application for the performance management of Intel processors
slimbookamdcontroller 0.4.5-2 - Application for the performance management of AMD processors
python-slimbook 1.18.0-1 - Python bindings for libslimbook and some extra goodies for Slimbook python based apps
libslimbook 1.18.2-1 - Core functionality for Slimbook apps
slimbookbattery 4.0.9beta-1 - Battery optimization application for portable devices
slimbook-keyboard-dkms 0.2.8-2 - Keyboard module for Slimbook Essential model (and laptops with similar keyboards)
slimbook-rgb-keyboard 0.5.3-1 - Utility to manage color and brightness of Slimbook RGB keyboard
slimbook-qc71-dkms 0.4.3.0-1 - Slimbook service implementation and adaptation of pobrn/qc71_laptop
slimbook_service 0.8.4-2 - Service for Slimbook laptops
I know that I don't have an RGB keyboard and that my model is equipped with an AMD processor. So 1, 7, 8 are obviously not required. Also, 3 and 4 are likely to be dependencies.
Could you please advise which of these packages are necessary or recommended for my specific model to ensure optimal performance, battery life, and functionality? I'm particularly interested in knowing:
Which packages are essential for my hardware configuration?
Are there any packages that might conflict with each other?
Are there any specific configuration steps I should take after installing the recommended packages?
Thank you for your assistance!
