Re: Laptops which run Arch

Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3, both intel and amd model work with minimal issues. The only significant issue is the keyboard light not working sometimes when presssing Fn + Space

Re: Laptops which run Arch

I just installed onto an MSI RAIDER GE78 HX 13V.

Everything is working flawlessly, and I have never been so excited to use it more.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

I am at root tty. again. I was doing so well. Dell e1707, t7600 cpu, 4 Gigs ram, GeForce Go 7950 GTX, 2 TB, multiboot w/ win7 ultimate, Arch/w Blackarch. One of 6.16 uprgades shredded my displays. I was trying to install from the archive. Almost had it. mirrors are 404 today. now, upgraded the install from june to 6.17. None of the linux kernals , 6.10 and up, nouveau or dkms nv nothing. shredded displays...
Oh well we'll see...

Honor Magicbook Art 14, 2025 version.  Everything works, except fingerprint that will not be ever supported.

Might need libinput quirk if your libinput is too old  to make touchpad working.

With some kernel patching pretty efficient EAS can be activated so battery life in Linux will be close to Windows.

Re: Laptops which run Arch

I started with a Lenovo T14s ThinkPad Gen1 AMD. Arch and Fedora worked great on it. I let the battery die one time and the laptop stopped registering the charge value/percentage. It would still charge. I troubleshot the issue and eventually came to the conclusion that the charge controller on the battery crapped out. So I bought a new aftermarket battery off Amazon. I installed the new battery and..the laptop stopped posting. It was working fine plugged in just before. In troubleshooting the problem I reinstalled the original battery and it wouldn't post with it either. I spent the next day trying all sorts of things: hard resets, removing the batteries, discharging the capacitors, booting with no battery just AC power, nothing. Eventually I had to give up.

Ultimately I bought a new Lenovo P14s ThinkPad Gen 6 AMD (21QL001WUS) on sale to replace it. It has a warranty and official Linux(Ubuntu & Fedora) support from Lenovo. I was running Fedora on it last month, but have since gone back to Arch. The laptop has been running great.
