Exactly, I have a bunch of weird issues when running Linux on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. So unfortunately I w9nt be switching until the situation improves.

It's not even about gaming either, virtually all animations are like 2fps, no matter the drivers or power management. I wasted days on this with some guys from the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server, and some with exactly the same laptop don't have the same issue, but windows runs fine.

It's a real shame that, maybe on the next laptop!

Is your model covered by a NixOS module?

Could give one of these a twirl and see if it fixes the issues you've been seeing.

Thanks for the lead, but I'm afraid I don't know what to do with these modules. Do they only work with NixOS?

[–] dai@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah sorry should have listed that, they do require a NixOS installation.

Pick a DE for the installer, and if you want to change DE the installer will guide you through the process.

Then it will leave you with a config file and some man pages, it's a bit much at first but spend some time with it. In my eyes easily one of the better distros out there.
