My laptop came with Windows 11 on it. I installed Fedora pretty shortly after getting it. It doesn't have working speakers in Linux, and it can't shutdown - it just restarts on its own - because Lenovo's Linux support is non-existent outside of a handful of Thinkpad devices.

I accepted the loss. I'd rather use my Bluetooth earbuds when I need them and jump through hoops managing my battery than deal with how hostile Microsoft has gotten towards their customers or their relentless surveillance policies.

I belive you but how strange. Think pads are like the go to budget Linux laptop option. They've worked flawlessly for me for various distros over various models and years.

Ah I should have been more clear. I have a non-Thinkpad Lenovo. It's an Ideapad, Slim 7 Carbon. I bought it for its gorgeous screen and didn't really intend it to be a Linux exclusive device but here I am.
