Void Linux (musl) on the Huawei MateBook X Pro

I've been running a matebook x pro with ubuntu mostly with the nvidia card disabled for about a year now and I have nothing but nice things to say about this laptop.

Steam works fine out-of-the-box but the GPU and CPU are not powerful enough to run newer games with high resolutions.

Screen ratio and resolution is amazing, battery life is not bad, is dead silent which I truly appreciate, and the keyboard is very very nice to type on.

Also, for the battery, after 1 year of hardcore use, it's at 90% of capacity, I don't know if this is good or bad TBH.

I wrote a bit about my configuration here if you are interested [0].

I can't talk for windows laptops but my MacBook Pro 13" 2015 is at 87% after ~3.5 years of daily use. It's often docked in a Henge dock though.

For reference, I own an Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro which is at 87% capacity after 1 year.
