User:Ugly cat/Lenovo IdeaPad flex 6

The Lenovo Flex 6 is a flexible dual-mode laptop computer.

Hardware Support

Before installing any other OS (other than the default Windows 8/8.1) it is required to disable the secure boot option in the boot setup menu.

Works natively with xf86-video-amdgpu. However, you need to use kernel 4.17 or later.

The wireless card is supported, but you may run into an issue where the wireless card is hard blocked. Check if this is the case with:

$ rfkill

A solution is to block the lenovo ideapad drivers

edit the file

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

and add this:

blacklist ideapad_laptop

More info on this issue here.

Example of my paramters:

ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.1

Before adding the above to your configuration, make sure you know how to edit your kernel paramaters.
