A note about Sidecar.

For sidecar, you have to ensure that within BIOS, iGPU multi monitor mode is enabled, with a reserved memory of 64mb.

Even though in config.plist the reserved memory is set to 19mb for the iGPU, this will only act as a failover.

Take note to set the primary GPU to auto in BIOS if using a dGPU like I am.

A note about netflix

Still doesn't work what's new.

I love paying for something that is DRM'ed so heavily I can't even watch the 4k I paid for on linux.
