I just have an old laptop with a tui screen saver on it to prevent burn
also, the ssd doesn't work with linux so i have to put the os on a usb stick
Try booting your installer without UEFI - I have an old x99 WS IPMI board I spun up with NixOS and has so many issues using the EFI / UEFI installer.
Admittedly that thing pulls 60w at idle, so promptly turned it off ๐
nah, it's not uefi. linux straight up doesn't even see the drive when it's in the pc. according to archwiki, all laptops in its series work perfectly with Linux except for this one. the SSD does work externally in an enclosure though, so I'm using it for storage.
Ahh man that's a pain, my old notebook has no sata and only 32gb of emmc (which I'm tempted to remove and add a larger chip), but it's only being used for my 3D printer so it's not really a pressing need yet.
Btw you can set it up to turn the screen off without sending it to sleep. I use a screen lock to do this, but other things probably work too
