Happy you have it st up as you wanted, you just need to get the keyboard lighting working, there's a post I made about doing this on Mint or you could install Tuxedo control center and tuxedo keyboard.

Any Problems with your install then post in here so we can help . I call it fast boot but in Windows power settings is called Fast Start Up, find it, disable it if your loading Linux, then in the BIOS disable secure boot, Mint can instal with it enabled but I always disable it just incase it...

On both my pc-specialist laptops I never had a problem booting to a Linux live USB stick and installing Linux However, both of mine has a windows 10 install used for production testing before dispatch, (even though I specced a non OS system, this is normal as it allows testing ) You will need to...

EDIT 5TH APRIL 2023: There is now an alternative to getting the keyboard backlighting and function keys working in Linux, its called Tuxedo control center, its basically a cpu and fan monitor and keyboard controller for the tuxedo / clevo based range of computers and laptops, it requires a...

I hope it helps anyone considering Mint or one of the other Distro's.

Popped in to post about having Mint 21.1 working on the Lafité Pro Series laptop. Mint 21.1 tested and installed with kernel 15 and worked as expected, WiFi, Ethernet and sound and Bluetooth worked out of the box. To use the backlit keyboard use the same guide I wrote back in 2020 that's kindly...

alukreis, Happy you got it working, Modprobe can sometimes be hit or miss with these backlit keyoards. Thank you for taking the time to post here and for the detailed account of the steps you did to get it working on Manjaro, I am sure this will hep other's in their quest :-)

Thanks for explaining :) I'll just leave the guide as it is other wise I will be in old age long before I work out what part is causing the error !

Thank you for your comment, I hope by now you have control over your keyboard lighting ! I wanted to edit the my guide but keep seeing an 'ooops error',never mind. The edit was to just show the color 0xFF0000 is RED.

Your most welcome, I hope it helps those who wonder about the keyboard, thank you :-)

I did try and post a full review of this laptop but after four attempts that failed I gave up and moved to this section to post this in the hope it will help anyone who wishes to install Linux mint on this model of laptop. I installed Linux Mint 20 Mate from a live USB with no issues...

Hi, Recieved my new 15.6" Lafité IV today, first time powered on I noticed the top corners of the screen have some sort of bleed, its an IPS screen so before I contact support I wondered if anyone could look at the pictures I took of the problem and say if this is actualy a problem, I have...

Thank you and good morning :)
