    I have a Lenovo Idea Pad 3. It runs linux mint on it perfectly fine and I can run mid tier games on it. It’s great for a portable play experience or work laptop.

      I bought an ideapad pro 5i 14” a few days ago. I was delighted to see it ran Ubuntu perfectly with no driver issues.

      Ironically, the keyboard and trackpad didn’t work in windows until I installed the drivers (made for a more difficult install)

      What’s the long term usage like with Mint? Does it have decent battery life?

        If I’m playing rimworld (with a ton of mods) I get like 2.5 hours. It’s not great but I am usually by a charger so it hasn’t really been an issue yet.
