Ubuntu 24.04
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I have a 6600xt on Ubuntu 24.04. Worked seamlessly, didn't have to tweak or install anything.
- Lenovo have a custom Ubuntu 24.04 ISO. You can get this preinstalled in some territories or you can just ask the Lenovo staff on their forum for a link. It runs the OEM kernel and has some additional packages sources which I think make t...
- In your case I would download ubuntu 24.04 and then try booting from it. If it boots to GUI and connects to the network, then run also a memory test.
- For the OS, I will probably install Ubuntu 24.04, since that's supported for Perforce Servers
- Ubuntu 24.04 (because it's a Long Term Support version)
Cons
- Linux / Ubuntu 24.04 is usually set to max performance out of the box. It's on the user to dial in the battery life for the user's use case.
- I'm trying to install a dual-boot set-up with Ubuntu 24.04 (using the latest stable ISO). ... But every time I select it, the machine resets and I get the error above ('no bootable devices').
- I'm running kernel 6.17 on Ubuntu 24.04 and it's "fine ish" as long as I don't open the signal menus, otherwise it might bug some times and lower the speed drastically.
- I have tried a live versions of Ubuntu 24.04, 24.10, Pop!_OS 24.04 with Cosmic Alpha 5 and 6, Nobara 41 GNOME, Nobara Official (with KDE), and all have various issues that are not always the same issues.
- I have not installed Linux on the Legion since the Nvidia drivers have been updated to version 570, but I tried many distros last year. Ubuntu 24.04, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Nobara 40. All were problematic at the time.

Lenovo have a custom Ubuntu 24.04 ISO. You can get this preinstalled in some territories or you can just ask the Lenovo staff on their forum for a link. It runs the OEM kernel and has some additional packages sources which I think make the camera work.
