Apparently, this is a common issue affecting many GNU/Linux distributions since Lenovo is using the same MSFT touchpad on several of its laptops. The bad news is that the touchpad won’t work with many popular distros, especially those using a kernel version below Linux 5.10 LTS. Connecting to an external monitor via HDMI works too, following these instructions. The good news is that Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FN keys (volume, brightness and mic control), GPU switching, and other essential functions work well with most distributions that I’ve tested (the ones that worked, of course). Lenovo is well-known as a Window PC maker, but the company’s recent commitment to support Linux distributions made me buy one of their laptops. The laptop didn’t came with an operating system pre-installed, which is usually a good sign that’s not tailored for Windows.

What I like most about the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is it’s superb 1080p display, the front-facing camera with privacy shutter (every laptop should have this!), and the gorgeous Chameleon Blue color (I never owned a blue laptop before). The laptop comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti (4GB) GPU. As you can imagine, it was an instant buy. But my budget was limited, so the configuration I wanted was either not in stock or it was too expensive.Īnd this brings me to the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, which recently popped up at local online shop, and appears to be a variant of the Lenovo Legion 5 laptop (same model: 15ARH05). These gaming laptops are available in various configurations with AMD Ryzen 4000 series CPUs, as well as dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX or RTX GPUs. My other choices were the ASUS TUF A15, Acer Nitro 5, and Lenovo Legion 5. Well, I usually buy ASUS and Acer products as they proved to be very reliable and stable over the years, and Linux friendly, but I remembered Lenovo is now Linux friendly too (at least for Fedora/RHEL and Ubuntu), and it turns out they have a few popular gaming laptops on sale with AMD Ryzen CPUs.Ī fun fact is that the ideal machine for me was the MSI Bravo 15, which comes with AMD Ryzen 7 4800H and AMD Radeon RX 5500M graphics, but it was out of stock everywhere (sad face).
Why Lenovo, and why the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3?

I wrote this review/report for others interested in buying the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop (released July 2020) and install a GNU/Linux distribution on it, so they won’t have to spend days finding the perfect distro for their new laptop.

I was initially aiming for a full AMD configuration, with a dedicated AMD Radeon GPU, that’s also great for gaming and future-proof, but hey, you can’t have everything in life.
The time has come for my 11-year-old Acer eMachines laptop to take a very long break, so I decided to buy the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop and tested a few distros on it to see which is the best overall.įor the first time in many years, I wanted to buy an AMD-powered machine since Intel is plagued with so many vulnerabilities these days.
