Sure, but if you WANT to use Linux, you have to accept that Nvidia is the only one that can fix half the problems that occur and that they don't care to do so

If you DON'T have secure boot enabled on your Legion Go, just open a terminal and run

sudo fwupdtool install-blob isflash.bin

sudo fwupdtool install-blob isflash.bin

. Pick the 'System Firmware' option. If you do have secure boot enabled, disable it first in the BIOS.

excellent

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/19/24, 4:28 PM

I can

KamquatOP•7/19/24, 4:28 PM

yep np. Also if you want secure boot after the update again (if you were using it before), just

ujust enroll-secure-boot-key

ujust enroll-secure-boot-key

and follow the directions as normal as a final step. if not, don't worry about it

KamquatOP•7/19/24, 4:29 PM

@Cali Cali IF YOU GET A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THE INITIAL BIOS UPDATE SCREEN JUST WAIT. Lenovo is stupid.

KamquatOP•7/19/24, 4:30 PM

I hope they saw that before they did the flash and rebooted
