Premnotrypes

Premnotrypes (Andean potato weevil) is a genus of weevils (which are beetles). It was described in 1914 by American entomologist W. Dwight Pierce (1881-1967). Several species in the genus are pests, because the larvae feed on potato tubers and the adults on the leaves (one species even has the specific epithet solanivorax, 'potato devourer'). It is native to Latin America, in particular Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, but has been recorded as a possible invader on other continents.[1][2][3][4][5]

gollark: You should just be able to get nvidia drivers from your distro package manager.
gollark: The speakers also work fine, as does WiFi, the keyboard, trackpad, etc.
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.
