Review on Renewed Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop: 15.6" 144Hz, AMD Ryzen 7-4800H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, RTX 2060 6GB, Phantom Black by Anastazja Steblianko ᠌

In the event that it is of use to anyone and saves you from having to stay up for numerous nights with red eyes, I will write more about installing Linux. The touchpad that doesn't operate properly is the primary issue. Launchpad bug 1887190 is one place where this issue is being discussed in detail. It was helpful for me to read Answer 254, which explains how to fix the kernel. It would appear that you need to recompile the kernel using at least version 5.8 of the source code. I am in possession of 5.92022. The touchpad was operational. Therefore, if you do not sign the kernel, you will need to disable secure boot in the BIOS. This is the case regardless of whether you use Linux or Windows. The installation of the driver for the video card is the second main issue (out of the blue). You will need to establish the forced use of a discrete graphics card in the bios of your computer. There are no newly released versions of the drivers available anywhere (not in the repositories nor on the Nvidia website). Only the driver version 440, which can be easily googled, was installed on my system from the PPA that contains drivers. Nonetheless, despite having this driver, everything is still enjoyable. The keyboard does not have an option to change the illumination of the screen, and when you wake the device up from sleep, some of the colors on the display are gone (everything becomes high-contrast). You have a number of options available to you when it comes to handling highlighting, such as sending parameters to the kernel or modifying xorg.conf. Yet none of this was of any use to me. The only script that is operational is the brightness controller script, which was uploaded to github by the user momen84. The incomprehensibility of the scenario is not alleviated by the fact that the colors have been altered after awakening. It is advised to give the value 0 as the argument when communicating with the VGA kernel (in the hornbeam settings). It would appear that the truth has improved, but occasionally I have to put my laptop back to sleep, and it's only after the second time that I wake it up that the colors are back to as they should be. Despite all of this commotion, I am really happy with the laptop, and it is a delight to use it.
