gollark: Anecdotally, my device (2020 Legion 5 with the i5-10300H and RTX 2060) works fine under Linux. People spoke of backlight issues, but it works fine for me. I'm using the hybrid GPU mode with PRIME (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#PRIME_render_offload).
gollark: Thanks. I'm not on Windows but might use this if I ever end up installing it instead for whatever reason.
gollark: I have an i5-10300H/RTX 2060 Legion 5, is undervolting possible? I've heard it said that you need some advanced BIOS options which this model lacks for some reason.
gollark: No.
