Lenovo Legion devices running Linux set to get new 'Extreme' mode that fixes previously-broken power limits — only approved devices will be able to run the maximum performance mode

Lenovo Legion devices running Linux are set to receive a new "Extreme" mode that fixes power limit issues previously experienced when using the devices with Linux. The patch, developed by Derek Clark, will only allow approved devices to run this mode to prevent bugs on lower-end or thermally-constrained units. The fix addresses misreported power profiles and ensures that Extreme mode is disabled by default until devices are validated for it. This update will provide correct power profiles for all Lenovo Legion devices on Linux, making gaming on the platform more efficient and enjoyable.
