I just installed Fedora 37 on my legion, and I am surprised at how much is actually working, but not everything.

I have an older Legion with a 9th gen intel and 2060

Wifi worked instantly

Keyboard brightness also got recognized, but it only shows on and off, nothing in between

Screen brightness is working right out of the box (with one Issue: when lowering it, the screen turns off, but when turning it up again it works as intended, also the slider works perfectly), this was the biggest issue I had in the past

I will experiment further and add to this post

Awesome, thank you for letting me know!! Seems like Fedora 37 is a huge improvement for Legion. I will probably install and try it in a couple of weeks. 🤝

@pedrohex looks like this is something you might be interested in.

Soo here are some of my findings:

Display and GPU:

with the noveau drivers the Display works as expected but as mentioned on their progress page 2D and 3D acceleration for 20 series cards and above is not implemented. This requires the installation of the third party nvidia drivers (if you do any kind of gaming or stable diffusion this is a must do)

With the proprietary drivers the Diplay behavior changes a bit, it is no longer turning off when dimming. But another Issue is that 0% is not the lowest brightness and 10% is full on blinding brightness, so 20% is the lowest usable setting.

Sidenote: fedora 37 comes with python 3.11 on which Stable Diffusion does not run so install python3.10

Power management:

The Machine seems to support power management for the CPU right out of the box and for the GPU after installing the drivers. I have not done enough testing to confirm or deny this, but I am optimistic from my subjective point of view after a using it for the last couple days

Fan curve:

previously (a few years ago) the fans where randomly spinning up to 100% which was a bit annoying (understatement of the year), this seems to be fixed now.

... to be continued

I updated to fedora 38 and there has been an Issue with the display and the proprietary driver. Nvidia detects a display that is non-existent:

grafik

xrandr --current
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
   1920x1080    144.00*+
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
None-1-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1920x1080     60.00 +

This None-1-1 display is not controllable and every attempt to turn it off or mirror it is failing.

This Issue did not exist in Fedora 37
