yoga-slim7-ubuntu VS ExpansionCards

This doesn't really 'fix' the problem, but rather just a workaround to stop the laptop from freaking out every time you just need to close the lid for whatever the reason it may be. Hitting 'suspend,sleep,etc.' or any thing related to calling the system to enter a sleep state will only cause the problem to occur. Like on my setup I also prevented hitting the power button go into sleep mode too so it's far less of an annoyance now than before.Hopefully in the future support from Lenovo or people working on the linux kernel can figure out a way to avoid this (especially since a fix seemed to be possible prior to 5.10 using a DSDT method as instructed in this github page: https://github.com/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu, but after 5.11 this isn't possible because IDK)

There's a guide on the Archwiki#EnablingS3(before_BIOS_version_1.33)) to fix the S3 mode. As I'm using Ubuntu atm I can't tell if it's working (can't get S3 to work here, even though there's a decent git guide so I will most likely make an attempt with Fedora later.

it's a problem related to the Yoga Slim 7 suspend mode, there is a trick to avoid this here

Check this: https:/github/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu. It may work for you too. For me it worked pretty well.

Hello, I'm having an issue where the screen of my laptop won't turn on after going to suspend state. I tried to do the fix stated in this github repo but I lost it on the part where adding kernel parameters using GRUB, can anyone help me do it using kernelstub. Thanks :-)

It works well, but requires a recent kernel and some tricks to make audio and ACPI work: https://github.com/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu

I don't know really what causes it but maybe this helps, do it with caution: https://github.com/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu

I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.

So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.

Frame.work: https://frame.work/

Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...

System76: https://system76.com/laptops

Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)

You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
