What's Working?

Pretty much everything

• Bluetooth
• Sleep
• iMessage / Facetime
• Ethernet

Upon MacOS installation:

Open Terminal and type this in:

ifconfig en0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex 

• Thunderbolt
• Sidecar (with USB-C Connection)

One issue I have with Sidecar:

When connecting my iPad to Sidecar and simultaneously in a Zoom Meeting + using OBS to record, computer will restart. I'm not sure if this is due to a memory leak, but this is a specific problem only when I am using Sidecar.

• Adobe Suite
• External Devices
  • USB 3.0 4k Webcam
  • Thunderbolt Drive

What's Not Working?

• WiFi (don't really need it)

​

Recently upgraded to the RX 6800 from an RX 580 and the noise levels are much better. Hardware acceleration seems to be working on the GPU as well.
