HCL - Lenovo 81XG, Flex 14 inch, Model 81XG000EUS

[Qubes User]

Installation

Installed to hard drive. Secure boot was disabled.

Legacy boot mode can be enabled, but EUFI works fine; no troubleshooting was required.

Trackpad/touchpad didn't work during installation. I used a Logitech M510 USB mouse.

To make the hard drive visible during installation, in the BIOS, change the Storage Controller from RST to AHCI.

USB Qubes not configurable from initial configuration menu. The keyboard could be a USB keyboard.
Or maybe the USB Mouse prevented me from configuring the USB Qubes.

On start-up and shut-down, I get

[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details.

Works without further troubleshooting

Thoughts

There appears to be no TPM.

Built-in keyboard and USB mouse are a bit laggy.

This model uses a 10th gen i5-10210U processor; a newer model.

This was the cheapest 16gb ram laptop available at Costco.com at this time at $721 after tax and shipping. Making newer, cheaper models compatible with Qubes could be a way to bring more new users to the OS.
