Review on 14" Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ALC05 1920x1080, AMD Ryzen 3 5300U 2.6 GHz, RAM 8 GB, SSD 256 GB, AMD Radeon Graphics, Windows 10 Gray, 82LM0035RU, English layout by Franciszka Baran ᠌

deployed Debian. The stable version did not operate due to the newness of the equipment. The trial live distribution was also unsuccessful (graphics and network did not work). I also tested Mint; while the graphics ran smoothly without any acceleration, the touchpad was inoperable despite Linux 5.9 having added support for it. I consequently installed a non-official Debian test live image with pre-installed non-free packages right away (Unofficial non-free images including firmware packages). A kernel 5.9 and all the required components were already present. Both the touchpad and the graphics were nicely captured. I encountered a problem during installation while trying to identify the network card and was unable to locate the required firewood. After downloading, WiFi functioned normally after I omitted this step. I had to connect the mouse using an external USB converter since, perhaps, there was a bluetooth issue because the adaptor was not recognized. The built-in adaptor functioned once firmware-realtek 20222218-3 was installed. Brightness control is effective. Read reviews that claim it is ineffective. If this issue arises, I believe it is worthwhile to upgrade to more recent kernel versions. There were audio issues. I had to add the left driver to the blacklist because it was linked for some reason: /etc/modprobe. D/blacklist. Conf # echo "blacklist snd rn pci acp3x" I examined The Witcher 2, CS GO, and Nexuiz's visuals. Nexuiz can fly. The Witcher plays sequences with some slowness, but otherwise runs smoothly on Full HD with medium settings. In challenging circumstances, CS:GO lags a tiny bit with the default settings. For nine hours, the battery remains stable. It predicts all 12 when the keyboard's backlight is off and the brightness is low. The hardware is generally relatively new, but surprisingly there weren't many issues with it; all you need to do is install the correct kernel and drivers. Overall, a nice computer for a home that doesn't require much processing power.
