Hi, I am using HP Omen 15 2020 model and recently installed fedora workstation 41 baremetal. First time using linux baremetal, only used kali for some tasks in VBox, so fairly new to linux. I am facing this issue when I unplug my charger, first the brightness increases automatically then the screen flickers and turns off. I noticed that the system didn’t go down/ shutdown so when I plugged the charger back in, the display came up. I am attaching some screenshots of my system info, journalctl -xe and journalctl results.
Please consider me a newbie to linux and Any help is appreciated, need to solve this quickly. Thanks.
Posting details as images limits the number of people who will see the details. This is likely a power management issue, which brings in vendor firmware, so you should make sure you have current vendor firmware. You may be able to do this in Linux using fwupd tools.
As for fwupd, I did install it and used some basic commands like,
fwupdmgr get-devices, listed all components used in me hp omen 15 (under both ssd it had “Device requires AC power to be connected”.
fwupdmgr get-updates,
Devices with no available firmware updates:
• PC601 HFS512GD9TNG-L2A0A
• System Firmware
• Vi3000 SSD
Devices with the latest available firmware version:
• UEFI dbx
No updates available

Doesnt seem to update anything, still the issue persists.
Shall I wait for any updates or is there anything else I can try ?
PS: I can use my laptop when I turn it on without plugging in the charging cord but when it goes to sleep automatically and then when I try to use it again the issue occurs.
