Out of curiosity, what Linux did you try on it? Relatively new and you tried Mint maybe?

Fedora

And is the laptop quite new I wonder?

X1 yoga 3rd gen, so around 2018ish. The stylus and thunderbolt are broken. And the mouse lags. I already wasted a lot of time troubleshooting it. I’ll try again in a few years, maybe it’ll be fixed.

Well I’ll be. Didn’t know the Yoga line had abnormal hardware for things like trackpads/etc, as Thinkpads in general are considered to be so good for Linux. If you should tinker in the future maybe try something with a much more modern kernel 7+ like CachyOS. Either way nice chatting have a good one.

I ran mint on an hm110 with an old as balls nvidia and the only bug i had was tracking down the 330 drivers so i could shut the godddamn fan up. (And then had to compile a Kodi build from source yay thanks muppets)

Linux isn’t as transparent as windows when it comes to legacy drivers, it’s always been an issue

Not to sell your experience short, that sucks, but that’s on Nvidia for being the worst company in the world for driver support.

Yup, two prongs on the same fork.

My Yoga 370 runs great with Fedora KDE

I’ve had this happen on a thinkpad yoga before. Honestly just keep windows on it and run an antivirus because you’ll definitely not be receiving updates for windows defender anytime soon as that is tied to windows update.

You could also be like me though eventually and hack the bios to not be absolute trash and get Linux working on it anyway.
