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few weeks to a month on average) glibc patched with clone3 disabled (fixes CEF compatibility in applications using outdated CEF such as Discord, Steam beta) glibc patched with broken commits reverted to allow EasyAntiCheat to work for Rogue Company dnf max parallel downloads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. (They both function the same but gnome-extension-manager allows management of extensions without a browser). gamescope version regularly updated goverlay version regularly updated mangohud version regularly updated vkbasalt version regularly updated vm.max_map_count = 16777216 set by default for Star Citizen xwayland patched with fix for locked fps on some systems: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:hwsnemo:xwayland/xwayland/xwayland-vsync.diff?expand=1 supergfxctl and gnome extension + kde plasmoid enabled for laptops.

• 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?
  1 project | /r/linux | 24 Jun 2023

  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.

  LenovoLegionLinux (tweaking the fan curve)

• Legion fan control doesn't seem to work. Anyone could help me?
  1 project | /r/LenovoLegion | 1 Jun 2023

  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
  1 project | /r/linux_gaming | 27 May 2023

  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

  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
