## Hardware Support

The only hardware not supported is the fingerprint reader (see remarks for USB ID 06cb:0081 at Validity90 on GitHub).

### UEFI Bios

Before installing, disable Secure Boot in BIOS. The BIOS can be accessed by pressing the NOVO button on the right hand side or by pressing `F2` during boot.The boot menu can be accessed by pressing `F12`.

### Battery Conservation Mode

Lenovo laptops come with a battery controller setting called "Battery Conservation Mode", which shifts the usual loading thresholds from 95/100% to 55/60% to reduce battery degradation. To enable this, install the acpi_call package. The mode is enabled with:

    $ echo '\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.VPC0.SBMC 3' | sudo tee /proc/acpi/call

It can be disable with:

    $ echo '\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.VPC0.SBMC 5' | sudo tee /proc/acpi/call
