TLP is often no longer the best choice since firmware provides power
profiles instead. That's why we are removing TLP as the default option.
We may want to bring back TLP to some old hardware if it makes sense
i.e. certain thinkpad modules.
The broadcom-sta driver package is marked as insecure due to CVE-2019-9501
and CVE-2019-9502 (heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities allowing remote code
execution). The driver is also unmaintained and incompatible with modern
Linux kernel security mitigations.
Removed broadcom_sta from extraModulePackages and the corresponding "wl" kernel module.
This resolves test failures where Nixpkgs refuses to evaluate configurations
containing this insecure package.
since the update to 23.11, the screen would remain black frequently on
boot. Pressing alt+sysrq+k would make the display manager start.
Empirically, setting early kms up has solved the issue.
