    Why the ResizeAppleGpuBars is not set to -1? You should also set Resizeable Bar to disable in BIOS. itlwm shouldn't require AMFIPass. If the BIOS does not have option to disable CFG Lock, then enable AppleXcpmCfgLock quirk. Remove -wegswitchgpu boot arg

    Could be possible. Looks fine from the ACPI side. Can you attach the EFI to check if its all good there?

    WD Black. SN850X should be nice. IOReg seems good. Provide a copy of ACPI tableset using MaciASL>File>Export Tableset.

    Attach a copy of IOReg to check. The SSD you choose is poor.
