all-ways-egpu – v0.55.0

🚀 all-ways-egpu v0.55.0 just dropped!

If you’ve ever wrestled with getting your eGPU to take over as the primary display on Linux Wayland, this update is your new best friend.

✨ What’s new?

• 🌟 Kernel 6.18+ support: Now natively handles `boot_display` — no more flickery boot screens!
• 🚫 Smart display detection: Won’t try to switch if no monitor’s plugged in (goodbye, headless chaos).
• 🔧 New `disable-display-check` flag: Force the switch even if no display’s detected — perfect for remote rigs or testing.
• 📖 README got a full glow-up: Cleaner, clearer, less “why is this so confusing?!”

Method 2 users — your eGPU setup just got smarter, smoother, and way more reliable. Perfect for retro rigs running SteamOS, Sway, or Plasma with a beefy GPU in the dock.

Grab it, tweak it, and game like it’s 2003 — but with 4K pixels. 🕹️💻

🚀 Hekate v6.5.1 & Nyx v1.9.1 just dropped — and your Switch just got a quantum leap!

No more SD swaps. Boot CFW, Android, and Linux — all from one menu. 🤯

🔥 Blazing Fast Boots:

• T210 (Erista): 464% faster
• T210B01 (Mariko): Up to 15,847% faster — yes, you read that right.

🧠 Coreboot? Gone. L4T loader is now the standard — Android/Linux runs smoother than ever.

🗑️ MWS? Removed. Space freed. Performance gained.

🎮 Nyx GUI? 107% faster on Mariko — menus feel buttery.

🐣 Easter egg unlocked! “What is normally the base of your life?” (Spoiler: It’s joy.)

🔧 Under the hood:

• SHA256 fixes for T210 silicon errata → no more bootlogo hangs
• SHA384/512 register clears → cleaner SE operations
• SDMMC transfers >32MB now aligned → faster reads/writes
• FASTFS optimized, SE AES OFB + partial SHA256 added → no more manual hash fuss
• RNG now handles multiple blocks 🎲

🪫 Battery readings? ±0.16% accurate.

🎮 Joy-Con charging & CRC8 fixed — even secondary Joy-Cons update debug info now!

🗂️ Partition manager cleaned up. Console window opens/closes with one Joy-Con.

📦 Update? Just drop `bootloader/` to SD root → merge & go. Configs stay intact.

💡 Pro tip: Format your SD card in Hekate — it’s optimized. Other tools? Not so much.

💻 Windows users: Run the new `.reg` file for max UMS speed!

Your Switch isn’t just modded anymore… it’s evolved. 🎮✨

Grab it. Boot everything. Play harder.
