Razer Blade Stealth (2017) & Linux

I've had success running Linux on my machine with this setup: Razer Blade Stealth 2017 13" 3K Screen 16 GB RAM Integrated Intel graphics 1) Dual boot Windows & Linux We all know there are no BIOS or firmware updates on Linux. I made the Windows partition as small as it would let me. 2) Screen blanking I add an extra kernel parameter: "intel_idle.max_cstate=4" in /etc/default/grub. I run Fedora and I can l run using the LiveUSB but once I install it I have to add the kernel parameter or the screen will just blank out about the time I get to the LUKS password entry. I've tried other distros; it seems hit or miss whether you need to add it to run their installer or LiveUSB. Kubuntu seemed to work, OpenSUSE needed the parameter to install. The intel_idle.max_cstate parameter affects the power states of the CPU. Here's a good writeup on it: https://gist.github.com/wmealing/2dd2b543c4d3cff6cab7. I'm currently running at cstate=1 to play with it. It works for me at cstate=4. 3) Razer
