LENOVO Ideapad S340 15API

Successfully fresh installed Debian 10.7 (buster) on a S340 15API (15" screen) with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, 8GB of RAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD. I had to use non-free firmware to get it works (Xorg, wifi). Microsoft Windows was installed on the system, I removed it (install over it). I had to disable BIOS secure and fast boot, enable and use Legacy support. Enjoy

Overall Status

Legend :
= OK ; Unsupported(No Driver) ; = Error (Couldn't get it working); [?] Unknown, Not Test ; [-] Not-applicable
= Configuration Required; = Only works with a non-free driver and or firmware

Important Note

Installation on Legacy BIOS is working, use F2 key on startup to enter BIOS menu. Disable Fast and Secure boot, use Legacy support and set Legacy support first. Adjust other options if needed like AMD secure mode. Use F12 on startup to enter boot menu.

Configuration

The installer may ask you to load firmware for wifi, see the next Wifi section.

Display

• I had bad resolution (like max @1300x700) and I was not able to set brightness before installing the package firmware-amd-graphics/stable. I also updated the kernel to version 5.9 but I can't tell if it's better than the 4.19 version. I also added radeon.modeset=1 radeon.dpm=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (in /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub). The radeon.dpm is for energy saving. The radeon.modeset to force kernel modules. I can't tell if these options are needed, try to add them if necessary.

Audio

• Everything seems to work great.

Mouse

• All OK (trackpad)

Power Management

• I added radeon.dpm=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (in /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub). The radeon.dpm is for energy saving on hardware. I don't know if it's better with? I have like 5 hours max of battery time.

WiFi

• It's OK with firmware. The kernel update (to 5.9 version) seems to add better support? I had to load the firmware when installing to get the wifi working to download extra packages. The installer may ask you to load it. You can get these firmwares on debian wiki or use the link below (current stable debian version): here.
