aa4ac3a335 docs: standardize sysfs paths on card0 for BC-250
The BC-250 enumerates as /sys/class/drm/card0 on a typical install (no
secondary GPU). Verified live on Fedora 43, kernel 7.0.9, PCI 1002:13fe.
Many doc snippets hardcoded card1, so copy-paste failed on a stock single-
GPU board.

Replaced /sys/class/drm/card1/ with /sys/class/drm/card0/ across:
bios/overclocking.md, bios/vram.md, drivers/radv.md,
getting-started/quick-start.md, linux/{arch,bazzite,cachyos,debian,fedora}.md,
reference/quick-reference.md, system/{governor,sensors}.md,
troubleshooting/{boot,display,performance,stability}.md.

Existing card0-vs-card1 disclaimers preserved at governor.md L166/L503,
quick-start.md L78, bazzite.md L104, kernel.md L222 (and quick-reference.md
intro rewritten to lead with card0 + note the iGPU edge case).

6ece5643a1 fix: replace oberon-governor with cyan-skillfish-governor-smu, add swap/zram guide
- Replace deprecated oberon-governor refs with cyan-skillfish-governor-smu across all docs
- Keep oberon only in migration/uninstall sections
- Add swap/zram optimization section for 8GB RAM constraint (zswap + lz4 + swapfile)
- Update GPU OC limits: 2230 MHz air / 2300 good air / 2400 liquid (NexGen3D tested)
- Update NexGen3D SteamMachine reference
- COPR repo: filippor/bazzite for all distros
- Config path: /etc/cyan-skillfish-governor-smu/config.toml

3f4d9d7d85 fix: hardware-verified corrections from live BC-250 audit
Key fixes:
- nct6687 for fan control (not nct6683 which is read-only)
- GPU is card1 not card0 in all sysfs paths
- Fan on pwm2/fan2 (Pump Fan header), not pwm1
- Vulkan 1.4.328 (not 1.3), Mesa 25.3.6 (not 25.2.4)
- cpupower doesn't work on BC-250 (removed recommendations)
- pp_dmu_clock -> pp_dpm_mclk
- ACPI fix marked as optional/experimental (not essential)
- amdgpu.sg_display=0 only needed for kernels < 6.10
- GPU voltage range 700-1129 mV (from OD_RANGE)
- Added CoolerControl installation instructions
- Expanded sensors.md with proper nct6687 setup guide

796471cc6e feat: add technical facts from Discord resource channels
- display.md: DisplayLink unreliable (latency, no game mode), DP MST max 2 screens
- cooling.md: 3 heatsink variants (QR code = 9-row), thermal pads 1.5mm front/2.0mm back
- distributions.md: Ubuntu 26.04 daily server ISO works out of box
- radv.md: LLM headless mode tip (~14.2GB available VRAM, headless saves ~800MB)
- stability.md: P5.00 BIOS more susceptible to bricking from memory timing;
  tREF most rewarding timing, GDDR6 ICs are bottom-binned Micron

6ecde49315 fix: update version numbers to March 2026 reality
- Kernel: 6.18.18 LTS (recommended), 6.19.8 stable (PCIe issues),
  7.0-rc4 mainline added. Updated kernel compatibility table.
- Fedora: 42 marked as EOL everywhere, 43 is current, 44 Beta mentioned
- Mesa: 25.x in Fedora 43, 26.0 on Debian sid. Removed Fedora 42
  mesa-git COPR instructions.
- Updated kernel install examples to use 6.18.18 instead of 6.14/6.16
- Added 6.19.x PCIe warning across all relevant pages

45eaf62280 fix: third pass — purge stale oberon refs, add governor crash bug, remove AI filler
- Replace oberon-governor with cyan-skillfish-governor-tt as default across
  bazzite, debian, arch, cachyos, fedora, power, quick-reference, display,
  performance, radv, and stability pages (oberon remains documented as legacy)
- Add "Black Screen on GPU Reset (Governor Running)" section to
  troubleshooting/stability.md (source: Discord user nohanmv, Feb 26)
- Remove AI filler: "comprehensive" from index/sensors, unverifiable stats
  (3500+ members, 100+ solutions, 30+ games, 9716/7000+ messages analyzed,
  90%/95% success rates)
- Remove unverifiable 8K @60Hz display claim
- Update governor config examples from oberon YAML format to
  cyan-skillfish-governor-tt TOML format
- Normalize community links to point to filippor/cyan-skillfish-governor

4543e41cf3 add ACO backend workaround for black square artifacts
Some users on patched kernels report nohiz doesn't fix black
squares. Forcing RADV_DEBUG=aco AMD_DEBUG=aco resolves the
glitches.
