tl;dr Hardware enablement still needs to happen, but very promising
Copr
Enable the COPR to get:
- patched
kernel UPDATE: Use the RC kernel from the test day (kernel-6.10.1-200.fc40
as of this writing)
libfprint
with MR494 for fingerprint reader support
goodix-gt7868q-dkms
(haptic trackpad)
ithc-dkms
(touchscreen)
Works (both Fedora 40 & Rawhide/41)
- [x] NVMe
- [x] Internal display + brightness controls
- [x] Keyboard with the usual hot keys (not all)
- [x] WiFi & Bluetooth (Intel AX211)
- [x] Display out (USB-C display, did not test Thunderbolt/USB4)
- [x] Keyboard backlight
- [x] Power limits
- [x] Power profiles
- [x] Suspend, plugged in & unplugged while suspended
- [x] s2idle (modern standby)
Broken
Misc
- Night light (f.lux for Gnome) was broken out of the box, selecting a color profile for the internal display resolves this issue
tuned
seems to have a great configuration for this laptop out of the box
- Light use (such as editing this file in Firefox) at 5-7 watts with the balanced profile and reasonable display brightness
Noteworthy
- Appears to idle at ~6 watts at full brightness
- Did not test under load, but probably similar to Windows here
- Power limit setting with power profiles is probably the superior battery life approach
- Battery stats & conservation mode is available via ideapad_laptop
Dual Boot
- Dual booting with Windows works fine
- You'll need to disable Bitlocker encryption first, otherwise Fedora can't resize the Windows partition
- You'll need to disable shim secure boot validation after Fedora is installed with
mokutil --disable-validation
(and follow the steps)
- Windows Hello will be in a disabled state after doing this, but you can simply re-enroll your fingerprints afterwards
Hopefully after a few more kernel cycles the hardware enablement trickles in.
