The nvidia proprietary driver sets this anyway after installation. This fixes the issue of KDE Wayland often times freezing on first login before nvidia proprietary drivers are installed. latest mesa release version provided for AMD/Intel desktop/GL drivers, mesa-git vulkan drivers provided for latest vulkan fixes/updates, built and updated regularly (every few weeks to a month on average) glibc patched with clone3 disabled (fixes CEF compatibility in applications using outdated CEF such as Discord, Steam beta) glibc patched with broken commits reverted to allow EasyAntiCheat to work for Rogue Company dnf max parallel downloads increased to 6 gst-editing-services disabled — causes WINE to hang when creating new prefixes lspci symlink from /usr/sbin/lspci to /usr/bin/lspci for Dying Light: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2766/post_id=17381 ‘nobara-controller-config’ package provided for easy installation of xone and xpadneo drivers and firmware. gnome variable refresh rate patches added for mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1154 gnome mutter check-alive-timeout increased from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. This is the amount of time gnome waits before trying to determine if an application is not responding. At 5 seconds it almost immediately triggers for league of legends (and some other applications) if those applications are still in the loading phase. We feel 30 seconds is a much more reasonable wait time. gnome mutter patched with x11 fractional scaling: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/raw/ubuntu/master/debian/patches/ubuntu/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch gnome mutter wayland and x11 fractional scaling enabled by default: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Fractional_scaling gnome shell patched with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2358 to allow gnome-extension-manager to auto-update without needing gnome-extension-app installed.

Looking for a New Laptop
If you want fan control other and other stuff on Linux, you can use my tool https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux . I think the embedded controller (firmware) has changed from the 2022 models (=Gen 7) to the 2023 models (=Gen 8).

Need an advice, which Linux is best for laptop?
You do not need Windows and Vantage anymore. I developed a Vantage alternative for Linux to change for fan speeds, power mode, power limits etc. https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux. It comes with a GUI tool and a driver for the laptop.

Is this CPU temp normal when idle? (Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 5800H 3070)

Legion fan control doesn't seem to work. Anyone could help me?
If you have concerns that anything might influence your fan control in Windows, get a clean system by booting to Linux from a USB live system (https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#1-getting-started ) - no installation required. Then add my Linux tool for fan control, power mode etc. https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux and try to change the fan curve. If this works, you definitely know that it works and there is some problem with either your background tasks or that your model is not (properly) supported by LegionFanControl.
-
A few questions prior to a switch
Cooling is controlled by the embedded controller in the hardware. So it just works. In Windows you have tools like LegionToolkit or LegionFanControl, to change settings of it, i.e. setting the fan curves or changing power mode. I Linux you could use my tool Lenovo Legion Linux support (https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux ) to do the same.

Lenovo Legion Toolkit question
There's a linux alternative you can try out. https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux

Laptop for software development, computer vision, and photo editing
You can also check if the BIOS version (only the leading letters are important) is already in the list of compatible models of my tool and kernel driver for fan control, temperatures, power mode etc.: https://github.com/johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux

Is LENOVO VANTAGE really that bad???!
Because you can always disable it and it doesn't have unnecessary sh*t. You can always install Lenovo Legion Toolkit.

If a dev with an IdeaPad Pro 5 gen 8 (83AR) is reading this (LLT support)
Our laptop is not totally supported by Lenovo Legion Toolkit, and the main dev said he only want to support Legion & IdeaPad gaming, but he's open to pull requests to add support to more models.

Just got my new computer. I get this error when I try to log in to the Lenovo Vantage app
I haven't seen that before, but you could consider using https://github.com/BartoszCichecki/LenovoLegionToolkit which is a lightweight replacement for vantage.

Underrated Nvidia feature?
I use LLT for automatic resolution switching when a game launches but in case that program doesn't run on your setup here's another way that uses hotkeys to switch resolutions.
