What

Adds a "Workaround: Slow Charging on HP OmniBook X Flip" section to the Boot Manager Configuration page, covering the acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2022" kernel command line workaround for Limine, GRUB, and systemd-boot.

Why

The HP OmniBook X Flip 16-ar0xxx charges at ~0.2 W under Linux instead of 30 W+ because the EC firmware gates fast charging behind the ACPI _OSI("Windows 2022") query. CachyOS kernels don't provide acpi_rev_override, so the _OSI workaround is the way to fix it. Verified on a real device (charging restored to 30 W+).

Notes

  • Uses the KERNEL_CMDLINE[default]+= append syntax (verified on device), plus GRUB and systemd-boot variants.
  • Includes a verification section (/proc/cmdline, BAT0/power_now).
  • Cautionary note that acpi_osi=! removes all Windows OSI responses.

Boot Manager Configuration page is not the correct one for this use case.

FAQ & Troubleshooting or in a new heading over at CachyOS Kernel.
