I am wondering if anyone has tried to install Linux along side W11. I have seen this on the MX forum: You can't dual boot MX with an OEM install of Windows 11. Win 11 will only boot and run with Secure Boot and BitLocker enabled. On the other hand, you cannot install MX on a Bitlocker encrypted disk...

Gmail says that the ruggeddepot email address is not recognized. Send the email to your gmail addy?

I believe it means the unit has a Win11 key in the cmos, but the unit was downgraded to Win10. If you install Win11 on the unit, the OS will be automatically registered as a genuine, due to the key in the cmos.

You can find it here: https://mxlinux.org/ It may not be the flashiest, but it is stable and they have a great group of devs. There are a few desktop managers you can choose from. It sounds like getting another sim for the CF-31 ...

You will get better results with the built-in card than tethered to your smartphone. I have a CF-31 Mk3 with a Sierra MC7700 that came from the factory with it. I don't use it much, but when I do use it, the result is like a home conn from a few yrs back. I have had better results with the Aircard t...

When I did a search for the term "ACPI\VEN_MAT&DEV_0028" I got this link at the top of the page and then a bunch of links to 'driver finders'. Maybe this will shed some light on the issue.
