I managed to get an ok deal on a Lenovo Legion slim 5 with the ryzen 5 7640hs and Geforce rtx 4050. My experience with Lenovo’s on Linux in the past has been kind of mixed, is there a good way to check all the hardware for levels of compatibility?

    I struggled getting my optimus laptop(hybrid graphics Intel/nvidia) working properly.

    They key was disabling secure boot which meant the kernel modules could be loaded

    I think this causes a bunch of problems
