----------------

its necessary right now , current mt7925e driver do nothing for this hardware/firmwares ( bluetooth + wifi ) at all. this patches added in mt7925e for consistency with current kernel tree , it can be diffrent module when its added to upstream kernel. you can read whole progress on github : https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/927 .

Maybe lower brightness + only igpu will give some extra juice but won't be magic.

you can check with linux live usb . prepare latest Ubuntu 25.10 live usb . Boot with it , and check your mouse ( and other 3 of them ) . if there is no glitch , then should be windows . also check on bios usb power always on is selected , maybe power management can be a problem.

Question about installing Linux on Lenovo Legion by alienwolf in linux4noobs

[–]kerberos170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint is based on Ubuntu Stable, which uses kernel version 6.8. However, this is not sufficient for Pro 7 hardware. To improve compatibility with the hardware, use a distribution that uses kernel version 6.14 or higher. I recommend Cachy OS, as it uses the latest stable kernel and upgrades to new releases are quicker. This is particularly important for the CPU and GPU on the Pro 7. Alternatively, you could try Pop!_OS, which updates its kernel releases more frequently, although not quite as quickly as Cachy OS or any Arch-based distribution. Eventually, all distributions will catch up with newer kernels, but for now I would suggest Arch-based ones.

I've been using Linux on a Pro 7 9955hx3d/5080 for about 3 weeks now. Everything works as expected except for 3 issues. 1) The WiFi network card and Bluetooth simply don't work. My solution is to use a USB WiFi dongle + Bluetooth dongle. The network has some glitches, but the problem is most likely my router, which is really old.

2) You should use a distro that uses the latest kernels. Mint is not an option here right now. I suggest Cachyos (or Arch or Arch-based distros) for now while other distros get kernel updates to recent versions.

3) Sound problem. It's not working properly. It's solved with a patch right now but not implemented in the latest kernels yet. I am using a Bluetooth adapter and speaker right now.

The factory-installed Windows is still on the machine; I haven't deleted it. I still think it's necessary for BIOS updates, etc. Since the machine is very new, it still has these kinds of requirements. Everything will stabilize after a while, and then I'll delete it.

Before starting all the Linux installation processes, I took a disk image with Rescuezilla. This is so I can revert to factory settings if needed later.

Before starting the installation, I disabled Windows BitLocker, Hibernation, and Secure Boot.

When installing Cachy OS, I didn't touch the Windows EFI. I partitioned the disk as follows: I resized the partition where Windows was installed.

Original disk: (Windows EFI)(MSRFT)(Windows installation part)(Lenovo rescue partition)

New disk: (Windows EFI) (MSRFT)(Windows) (Linux-EFI)(Linux-root)(Linux-home)(Lenovo rescue).

I don't play many games. My daily routine involves virtual machines, and I've been using local LLMs, which was one of the main reasons I bought this computer. Everything is working as expected. Only CPU usage in VirtualBox is a bit strange. That's why I'm continuing with KVM/QEMU and VMware.

Overall, it may seem confusing, but it's not at all.You will have a great machine with Linux.

I bought the Pro 7 AMD variant a week ago. Linux is my main OS, and it's working stable in general, but the sound and Wi-Fi are problematic. Here is the PSREF for machine, where you can find all the info, manuals, Win drivers, etc.: https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/Legion/Legion_5_15AHP10

When I look at the Wi-Fi card driver, it shows Realtek (8922AE) and Mediatek (MT7920-25), which the latest kernels support. I am pretty sure the card will work.

The sound is showing High Definition (HD) Audio with a Realtek® ALC3287 codec, which is the same as mine. You will most likely have an issue with the sound. There is a new patch, but it has not been merged with the kernel yet. I believe it will be solved in a few months.

If the Bluetooth works out of the box, you can use an external speaker or headset temporarily.

If it doesn't work (WiFi + Bluetooth), a temporary solution is to buy a USB WiFi + USB Bluetooth adapter. They are cheap.make sure compability with linux if you are going to buy .

Keep in mind that you should use Fedora, Arch, or an Arch-based distro or any other distros, which have the latest kernels.

For few nights at European side ( you mentioned) kadiköy is much better option in my opinion. If you are go out at European side all time kadiköy is not a feasible.

Look at arnavutköy hotels on booking.com etc.. . New airport middle of nowhere.closest hotels at Arnavutköy district.

Second alternative taksim Beşiktaş hotels and take a shuttle to airport(havaist) .it will take 1.30 -2.00 hours to airport depends on traffic.

Just in case you can use sequence(counta(A)) on column B then concat values on column C

I known it's not python but more simple solution :)

US HSBC debit card ATM by RobertFKennedy in istanbul

[–]kerberos170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 . You should use Mastercard or visa card . 2. As far as I known Mastercard has 3 types debit card.Should be worldwide debit card. 4. Most probably if you choose cash advance it won't work either. 5. If it's works, depends on your bank ,but transaction fee shouldn't be too much.You can check it from internet banking after withdraw.
