+===== Linux =====
+  * Windows OSI above 2013 causes backlight keys to not work ((laptop MFG is 2019, BIOS 2018, BIOS notes claim certified Win10; interestingly 2013 works best on Linux :p))
+  * Linux OSI causes a ''typec'' error in ''dmesg'' //seemingly// only with old ''1.1.6'' BIOS (Win2013 OSI fine)
+  * ''pci_aspm=off'' disables:
+  [    0.208891] [      T1] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS supports [ExtendedConfig ASPM ClockPM Segments MSI EDR HPX-Type3]
+  * //Pretty// sure above line included AER on new ''1.39.0'' BIOS, but not old ''1.1.6''
+  [    0.210563] [      T1] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: platform does not support [AER]
