From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wanted to post all the workaround and configs I needed to make Linux Mint work on the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro 2022 so others who need the help can find it on a non-reddit source. This will also be helpful for when I inevitably hop distros or break my system because I am a crazy person.

The following should get Linux Mint 21.2 working reasonably well on your Lenovo Legion assuming the assuming the model is the same.

Fixing stuck on mint logo after installing the nvidia driver.

Install the most recent nvidia driver using the driver manager on mint. Run the following so systemd does not stall waiting for the backlight service.

sudo systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight\:nvidia_0.service

Edit your kernel arguments so that the backlight works on Cinnamon

Open the file:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Add the following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

acpi_backlight=video

Update grub to apply the change

sudo update grub

Get a more recent kernel through one of the following methods to make suspend and resume work properly

sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c

Adjust keyboard lighting (Optional)

All of that together should make the system function normal and reasonably optimal. So if you use Linux Mint or are having similar issues with your superior for some reason distribution, these may come in handy. As for future Rod Biren, quit spending all your time breaking your OS and avoiding actual work on your side projects. Loading bars are not actual progress.
