also breaks every possible driver

but hey, you can do them without a full restart most of the time :)

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

only when you update your kernel could that happen. But then you can always return to your old kernel.

ik. but in the end i had way too many problems with linux on (probably) the worst machine ever made for it so i had to switch back to win*ows

i'm talking like, nothing i did helped raise my battery life past 2h on any linux distro without shutting down the GPU and half of my CPU cores. switching to windows brought it to 7h without compromise...

Aw dang. My condolences.

Your kernel probably wasnt suited for your system. For example I need to use a specialised Kernel to run Linux on my Surface Go, otherwise it overheats :D

yeah. sleep didnt work and it boosted fans to max most of the time

if you find/know of any good ones for a lenovo legion 5 pro, please share hahaha (ryzen 5 6600u, nvidia 3060)

  • mint

  • extra software and kernel stuff
  • many distros supported
  • mentions high fan speed

some mentions of „battery saver mode“ and nvidia gpu misbehaving with old driver.

thanks, will explore a bit

i had to manually install the latest drivers because nothing else worked so old drivers isnt a problem. i also tried ubuntu, arch (standalone), garuda (arch based), mint and all had this problem. didnt find any info on lenovolegionlinux so will check it out

what i did find was a lot of people having problems with linux on this exact laptop

windows would probably work out the box and will likely never fail like linux does

[-] tilcica@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

i have windows 10 home on it rn but i really wanted this to be a linux laptop
