Lenovo Yoga Slim S7 Pro is an excellent ultrabook. I won’t describe it here since a detailed information can be easily found in the internet, for example, in this review. I’ve got a model with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H. I know that some people may look for Linux compatibility information prior to buying a notebook and I decided to share my own experience with Lenovo Yoga Slim S7 Pro.
The ultrabook came with preinstalled Win10 Home but I use Linux for my everyday work and I decided to give it a try. As I don’t need Windows, I completely replaced it with Linux, no dual boot. I installed Kubuntu 21.10 with the following desktop environment/kernel versions:
- KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
- KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
- Qt Version: 5.15.2
- Kernel Version: 5.13.0-35-generic (64-bit)
- Graphics Platform: X11
My verdict: everything works like a charm: keyboard, touchpad, wifi, usb ports, bluetooth and etc. I couldn’t find any problems so far. I have seen Linux hardware compatibility issues reported earlier for Lenovo Yoga Slim models but I couldn’t find any for mine. Everything started working out-of-the-box.

Hey I have a 14ACH5 D which comes with nVidia MX450 dedicated graphics.
Do you have any issues with suspend at all? The laptop only supports s0ix sleep state, which was mostly fixed in 5.15 but newer kernels have more improvements, interesting you are running an older version of Kubuntu with a brand new laptop. I would like to have an option to enable s3 sleep so that less power is lost while the laptop is asleep.
I am using Pop!_OS which is a Gnome DE and the scaling is a bit funny, i have the desktop scaled up 200% then I have the fonts reduced 85% but i think on KDE there is better scaling options so probably a better choice there
I find the trackpad a bit funny I think mine might actually be defective, also it’s device name is MSFT001 so I think a proper driver is not in the kernel yet.

I haven’t got any suspend issues and I haven’t done anything specific for that. Occasionally but seldom my laptop may fail to reconnect to WiFi. Turning the network manager off and on helps in such a case. My laptop uses AMD graphics, not nVidia. As far as I rememeber there used to be some issues with nVidia in the past but I can’t recall what these issues were exactly. I have also seen some reports about these kind of issues, for example: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/not-coming-back-from-suspend/176446
