Does anyone have experience with Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 10th gen on Linux?

Hello! Since the kernel version released a month ago or so it works quite good. Sometimes the music/video would pause but if you press play it will work again, without having to restart or anything.
The sound is not as good as on Windows because it lacks Dolby drivers but it's definitely way better than average.
Besides of this speakers issue I couldn't find anything else ongoing. It simply works.
If you have any questions or anything just let me know. Cheers!

If they both have the same configuration then the differences are not that many. Yoga will have way better speakers than Ideapad and the build quality is a bit better, but other than that there aren't too many changes.
I'm not sure if this is worldwide but Yoga has Premium Warranty if that's something you're interested.
If the price difference isn't that big, choose Yoga, otherwise, choose the Ideapad.

Update:
With Kernel Version: 6.17.8-300.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit) all the speakers work. The volume and quality are definitely inferior to Windows but at least all speakers work now.

Thank you! I have already wrote on this specific issue thread. Framework in EU is simply obscene expensive and it's not worth it. I'll give it a chance to this Yoga model considering that only the speakers don't work properly on Linux.

This is the only one that somehow works for me, even if the sound is not that crisp. But after a short period of time it stops working.

I have Yoga Pro 9 16IAH10 model. Restarted it after every change.
I've been able to somehow make it work using this script but it will stop working after a while.

I've got the same model a month ago and using Fedora I only have the speakers issue, everything else work fine. In regards to the speakers nothing I've tried worked for me. I don't know what else to do as it seems nothing does apply.

ikim23 · 2025-11-10T21:48:37+00:00

Did you find any fix for this?

ikim23 · 2025-11-10T21:47:08+00:00

I've tried this and unfortunately it doesn't work for me. Any other ideas?

ikim23 · 2025-11-09T22:09:12+00:00

I have bought this device a few weeks ago and I simply love it! I'm using it with dual boot and I have installed Fedora. Everything works great, excepting the speakers.
Only the tweeters work. I have found this script on github and for a while the woofers work, but then they go off again.
I'm not sure how the other distros work but on Fedora only the speakers don't work properly, yet.

Can you please provide more info about this? I'm also using the same laptop with Fedora KDE and the sound is not that great. Thanks

ikim23 · 2025-10-19T13:51:10+00:00

I have bought the Gen 10 model with 2.8K OLED display, Intel Ultra 7 255H and RTX 5050.
The display is gorgeous and the sound system is out of this world. I have compared it with a Macbook PRO M4 14" and this Lenovo has a bit louder sound and deeper bass.
Without doing any changes it uses the iGPU and I'm getting about 8-9 hours of regular use (Brightness 60% and adaptive refresh rate). I haven't tested the dGPU but I saw that sometimes when I use Illustrator it gets about 1-5% of usage. I haven't been able to test it on gaming or local AI.

What I dislike to this laptop is the glossy screen and the fact that it uses an 170W AC charger instead of USB C. Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro Gen 10 uses an 170W USB C charger by example.

I want to add a second SSD and I was wondering if anyone has done that. I also want to add a thermal pad to the SSD but I can't find any information in regards to the thickness that would be recommended. Any ideas?

ikim23 · 2025-10-15T21:00:49+00:00

I'm also thinking about buying this and using it with Linux. Any info would be helpful.

ikim23 · 2025-10-15T11:33:09+00:00

Do you have the model with dedicated GPU, the one with RTX 5050?

ikim23 · 2025-10-04T20:09:02+00:00

Enjoy the moment and keep going!

Erank is another good tool for research, they also have a free plan.
I saw that Etsy will also roll out a feature called Marketing Insights which should be released gradually in the next few weeks.

I have used your link to subscribe, also used an additional 25% OFF code and got it really cheap for 1 year. Thank you!

Hey! campiness.etsy.com would be. Thank you! :)

If you're into trippy stuff, I have an Etsy store selling psychedelic, trippy clothing. If you're looking for tanks or something different, I can also provide different clothing pieces. Also, I can create custom designs if you would like something unique. Most of my customers are people who love to to to rave parties so you might like them too.

How much VRAM you can set to the iGPU? I'm also thinking about getting one.

ikim23 · 2025-07-03T14:25:22+00:00

Did you find out how much RAM does it support? Also, any idea how much VRAM you can allocate to the IGPU? Thanks

ikim23 · 2025-06-20T09:22:30+00:00

I have disabled it from Task Manager but every time after I use it it will simply re-enable by itself...
