    Out of curiosity, what Linux did you try on it? Relatively new and you tried Mint maybe?

      I ran mint on an hm110 with an old as balls nvidia and the only bug i had was tracking down the 330 drivers so i could shut the godddamn fan up. (And then had to compile a Kodi build from source yay thanks muppets)

      Linux isn’t as transparent as windows when it comes to legacy drivers, it’s always been an issue

        Not to sell your experience short, that sucks, but that’s on Nvidia for being the worst company in the world for driver support.

          X1 yoga 3rd gen, so around 2018ish. The stylus and thunderbolt are broken. And the mouse lags. I already wasted a lot of time troubleshooting it. I’ll try again in a few years, maybe it’ll be fixed.

            Well I’ll be. Didn’t know the Yoga line had abnormal hardware for things like trackpads/etc, as Thinkpads in general are considered to be so good for Linux. If you should tinker in the future maybe try something with a much more modern kernel 7+ like CachyOS. Either way nice chatting have a good one.
