I've seen ACPI errors pop up on everything from Debian to Arch, and on multiple different devices. I'm aware of what ACPI is at a high level:
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is an industry specification for the efficient handling of power consumption in desktop and mobile computers.
And I'm also aware that this tends to only be a noticeable error on *nix based distributions because they tend to have more verbose kernel feedback than Window$.
My questions are as follows:
- Who's fault is it really? Is it the manufacturer for providing bad support, or the kernel for not supporting enough?
- What is the "best practice" for handling these errors? In most cases I've encountered they are just an eye-sore, but is it OK to just sweep these under the rug like our friends at Microsoft?
- What is actually happening when these errors fire off? From the definition alone, it sounds like anything governing power would have some pretty negative side effects if it went badly, but these seem mostly passive. What is it really supposed to be doing?
Thank you for educating me, I appreciate all feedback!
