[Malix-Labs]

Hey folks,

It would be nice to add support for Lenovo Legion devices through LenovoLegionLinux

This is supported in Bazzite thanks to the fsync kernel.

• Comment from @KyleGospo :

  This is supported in Bazzite ⋯

  Do you mean "already added" or "could be added" in Bazzite?

  ⋯ thanks to the fsync kernel.

  Does Bluefin and Aurora not use the same kernel?
  Would it be impossible for Aurora and Bluefin to include LenovoLegionLinux otherwise?

Bluefin/Aurora does not use the fsync kernel currently. However, this may be something considered in the future since it includes the surface/Asus patches as well.

That said, you are able to swap the kernel in a custom image. Fsync has all of the akmods built in ublue-os/akmods as well.

Looking into the fsync kernel, it seems very interesting for the HWE variant

What would be the tradeoff to consider to make Bluefin and Aurora switch to the fsync kernel, or at least only for the HWE variant?

Hello again @m2Giles !

  Are there any open issue about that I can track ?
  If not, should I open one ?

Also, please check out my question above when you would be available

[m2Giles]

Latest is already using fsync kernel for Aurora/bluefin

[Malix-Labs]

Since the fsync kernel has been dropped (learned that in https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/stable-fsync-kernel/4767), may it be possible to reconsider this issue ?

[m2Giles]

Currently working on an image that replaces surface and Asus with a single image that contains all of the hardware enablement patches.

[Malix-Labs]

Very nice to hear !
Would you also consider adding support for Lenovo Legion too ?

[m2Giles]

It is using an fsync like kernel. Basically what was the old fsync option for bluefin. This is happening in bluefin repo.
