Hardware

Brightness control

As of kernel 5.9 use the native brightness controller, use the acpi_backlight=native kernel parameter.

Wireless

The wireless card is sometimes significantly slower than usual after waking up from standby. This might be related to a known issue on the Lenovo forum that Lenovo is currently investigating as of December 2023. Toggling the card with rfkill (or Fn+F8) seems to solve the problem when it occurs.

Another option is to disable power save for the card

# iw dev wlp1s0 set power_save off

A more permanent solution can be found at Power_management#Network_interfaces - replace on with off.

Firmware

fwupd does support this device.
