I managed to get an ok deal on a Lenovo Legion slim 5 with the ryzen 5 7640hs and Geforce rtx 4050. My experience with Lenovo’s on Linux in the past has been kind of mixed, is there a good way to check all the hardware for levels of compatibility?
I would say boot from live USB but your experience will be poor without the nvidia bull
I would boot Pop os as it has special nvidia iso
Solid advice, thanks. Been meaning to try pop os anyway.
Most distros can be set up on a live usb, so you can just run off of the usb and check if all your devices supported
This site could also be useful for checking on Linux compatibility: https://linux-hardware.org/
Edit: missed that it was posted before. Sorry for the noise😊
I struggled getting my optimus laptop(hybrid graphics Intel/nvidia) working properly.
They key was disabling secure boot which meant the kernel modules could be loaded
I think this causes a bunch of problems
