Aw dang. My condolences.

Your kernel probably wasnt suited for your system. For example I need to use a specialised Kernel to run Linux on my Surface Go, otherwise it overheats :D

thanks, will explore a bit

i had to manually install the latest drivers because nothing else worked so old drivers isnt a problem. i also tried ubuntu, arch (standalone), garuda (arch based), mint and all had this problem. didnt find any info on lenovolegionlinux so will check it out

what i did find was a lot of people having problems with linux on this exact laptop
