<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I found an excellent deal on this Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ADA05 laptop whose OS I completely intend to nuke in favor of some Linux distro (inclined to arch/opensuse but not completely decided). </p> <p>The problem is that me, being (what I self consider) a Linux user for some years, was unable to install Ubuntu on another Lenovo laptop some time ago. I couldn’t, for the life of me, get past of the grub installation, always with a dark error that grub-install couldn’t find the /dev/sdX where I was installing. I tried anything: disabled fastboot/secureboot, tried several distros at this point, swapped to a brand new disk and the result was the same, with the laptop ending up being crippled by windows again, which it happily ate up. </p> <p>I have read the arch wiki and other forums about how does this laptop team up with Linux with mixed results to the point that I have no idea if this would be a good laptop for Linux or not. (Hope I didn’t overlook anything)</p> <p>Does anyone have first hand experience on this model or similar? Does anyone know a source where I can read the compatibility of certain laptop with Linux (for future reference) ?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/elestadomayor"> /u/elestadomayor </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/qysec6/lenovo_laptop_for_linux_use/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/qysec6/lenovo_laptop_for_linux_use/">[comments]</a></span> |
