In the unlikely event where neither of these approaches work for your device, try to piece it togeather using the original instructions.\n   \n## FAQ:\n- **Q:** Why ISW-Modern?   \n**A:** I originally used ISW on my MSI Modern 15, hence the name.\n\n- **Q:** Can I enable Secure Boot?   \n**A:** It may not work with some distros, see [this issue](https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/265).\n\n- **Q:** Is this a revival of ISW?   \n**A:** Well not really, but I'm open to the idea of further improving the project. Have a suggestion? Make a pull request, or start a discussion!\n\n- **Q:** Is the original project dead?   \n**A:** Apparently yes, it's been unmaintained since 2020 and has recently become unusable due to the ```ec_sys``` kernel module dependency which has been missing on many distros lately. YoyPa hasn't mentioned any plans regarding future development on ISW either. Check out [MLFC](https://github.com/marshevms/mlfc), an awesome alternative under development.\n\n- **Q:** My laptop exploded!   \n**A:** That's on you man.   \n- **WARNING:**   \n**This is not a joke, in fact, it is technically possible to blow up your laptop by directly writing to the EC.**   \n   \n## To-do:\n- Switch to [msi-ec](https://github.com/BeardOverflow/msi-ec)\n- Cleanup isw.conf and add Katana address profile (as per issues [#1](https://github.com/FaridZelli/ISW-Modern/issues/1) \u0026 [#2](https://github.com/FaridZelli/ISW-Modern/issues/2))\n\u003e - Actually complete the tasks stated above... or not (I'M LAZY)\n   \n## Useful resources:\n- https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/263\n- https://github.com/BeardOverflow/msi-ec\n- https://github.com/musikid/acpi_ec\n- https://github.com/marshevms/mlfc\n- https://github.com/dmitry-s93/MControlCenter\n- https://github.com/YoCodingMonster/OpenFreezeCenter\n- https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux\n- https://github.com/nbfc-linux/nbfc-linux/issues/3\n- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1943318\n- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980555\n   \n---\n   \nFun fact: Turning off your fans may improve battery life by up to 30 minutes on most ultrabooks.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffaridzelli%2Fisw-modern","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffaridzelli%2Fisw-modern","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffaridzelli%2Fisw-modern/lists"}
