Added a workflow that makes manual adjustment of criteria and scores easier for maintainers. +* Created Makefile and shell scripts to aid users in running the tests using a simple `make` command within a terminal, complete with user-friendly prompts if required applications are not installed. +* Tested all laptops and desktops in the Kitchener office with the test suite inside the repository to verify if it works properly across both laptops and desktops + +In addition, extensive testing took place during this quarter, + +* Tested the Framework Laptop 13 (AMD 7040 Series) and Lenovo Yoga 11e (Kaby Lake) against the link:https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/freebsd-laptop-testing/blob/main/testing_checklist.md[FreeBSD Laptop Integration Testing Guidelines] on FreeBSD 16-CURRENT +* Worked on testing `drm-kmod` support on the Framework Desktop (Ryzen AI MAX) , as well as s2idle (suspend-2-idle) support on the Framework Laptop. +* Created FreeBSD Handbook documentation on Wayland, including setting up Niri, Labwc, Hyprland, and RiverWM window managers properly. + Tested and debugged Wayland support on the link:https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/proj-laptop/tree/main/supported[commited test targets], and reported bugs to relevant developers. +* Integrated the https://codeberg.org/fairyglade/ly[Ly] display manager into the upcoming link:https://gitlab.com/alfix/kde-installer-dialogs/-/merge_requests/10[KDE installer] for FreeBSD 15.1, allowing users to choose between SDDM and Ly. +* Evaluated the viability of GPU Passthrough on a Dell OptiPlex 7010 system using an NVIDIA GPU + +Other notes: + +* Started work on testing GPU passthrough on other machines; they are yet to arrive at the Kitchener office +* Continuing to iterate on the `freebsd-laptop-testing` repository and listening to user feedback after it goes live. +* Working on iterating the laptop testing project into the `freebsd.org` domain + +Sponsor: The FreeBSD Foundationhome | help
