Installation
EFI booting works; disabling Secure Boot is *not* necessary.
See #Accessibility on how to change UEFI settings, disable Secure Boot and boot an Arch installation medium.
Secure Boot
Disabling Secure Boot is *not* required to install Arch on this hardware.
EFI/LUKS
Full disk encryption with LUKS is supported. It is significantly easier to get this working using EFISTUB rather than GRUB. In addition to various Dm-crypt wiki pages, [1] and [2] may be helpful.
Firmware
BIOS is accessible via F2
during system boot. Default settings appear to work fine.
The boot menu is accessible via F12
.
Firmware upgrades have not been tested.
Video
An Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 615 (rev 02)
video card is installed. It is supported out of the box by the Intel i915
driver.
Audio
Basic audio using PipeWire works without issue. See #Keyboard for notes on mute/volume hotkeys.
Keyboard
No issues. However, the location of the Fn
and left-side Ctrl
key may annoy some users. There is a BIOS setting to swap the two keys.

- The key is visible to
xev
and similar tools. - The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function.
-
xev
only returns aKeymapNotify event
, but noKeyPress
orKeyRelease
events. No keycodes are seen byxev
. - In Xfce4 the display settings program is launched.
- Unlike some models,
Fn+F8
does *not* send anXF86RFKill
keypress event. However, it should be possible to bind this to rfkill to achive the same result.
The following xbindkeys configuration may be needed to get volume/mic controls working properly:
"pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle" m:0x0 + c:121 XF86AudioMute "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%" m:0x0 + c:123 XF86AudioRaiseVolume "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%" m:0x0 + c:122 XF86AudioLowerVolume "pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle" m:0x0 + c:198 XF86AudioMicMute
Power Management
CPU Performance Scaling
This laptop comes with an Intel Core m3-8100Y CPU 1.10GHz CPU. The rated frequencies range from 400MHz - 3.4GHz.
The intel_pstate
driver is supported, with the performance
and powersave
governors supported. CPU scaling works with both governors.
Suspend
Appears to work out of the box using Pipewire.
Microphone
Sensors
As this is a tablet, an accelerometer is installed and supported by iio-sensor-proxy.
The thinkpad-yoga-scripts-gitAUR may be of interest, although it needs to be converted to Python3, and will have to be modified to detect the ELAN devices (instead of WACOM).
Various temperature sensors are supported by lm_sensors.
The hardware includes neither an ambient light sensor, nor a proximity sensors.
