As you have probably seen, the new Legion Space update is mostly ads on the home screen. The only way to avoid this is by turning off your WiFi before opening Legion Space and turning off “Automatically Update Resources”.

Instead use LLT (Lenovo Legion Toolkit). Open source alternative.

Incase you are not aware what Legion Space is:

Lenovo Legion Space is Lenovo’s unified gaming hub app for Legion devices that lets users launch games, tune performance, tune CPU/GPU and fan profiles, and control RGB lighting from a single interface, effectively replacing or complementing Lenovo Vantage on newer Legion systems by centralizing game-focused controls and organizing titles across services for quick access on Legion laptops and handhelds such as the Legion Go, in a role similar to other OEM gaming hubs like Asus Armoury Crate or Acer PredatorSense.

    They support thinkpad, not legion. Yes, linux has fan speed control, etc. I’m using Ubuntu, but any distro should work. You might need to install software.

        The only thing I see is a sound card issue. Someone apparently fixed it recently, but it will take time for the kernel update to filter down to us. You can compile the fix and kernel yourself, though.

        For the moment I’m just running a force restart on alsa when the sound stops. A search on legion linux sound problem should lead you to the git repo eventually.
