The Lenovo Yoga 11e (Gen 6) is a 2-in-1 replacement for the Thinkpad X1xx series. Both Chromebook and (originally) Windows-based systems exist. This page (currently) covers the Windows version.
To ensure you have this version, install the package dmidecode and run:
# dmidecode -t system | grep Version
Version: ThinkPad 11e Yoga Gen 6
Installation
EFI booting works; disabling Secure Boot is *not* necessary.
See #Accessibility on how to change UEFI settings, disable Secure Boot and boot an Arch installation medium.
Secure Boot
Disabling Secure Boot is *not* required to install Arch on this hardware.
EFI/LUKS
Full disk encryption with LUKS is supported. It is significantly easier to get this working using EFISTUB rather than GRUB. In addition to various Dm-crypt wiki pages, [1] and [2] may be helpful.
Firmware
BIOS is accessible via F2 during system boot. Default settings appear to work fine.
The boot menu is accessible via F12.
Firmware upgrades have not been tested.
Keyboard
No issues. However, the location of the Fn and left-side Ctrl key may annoy some users. There is a BIOS setting to swap the two keys.

- The key is visible to
xevand similar tools. - The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function.
-
xevonly returns aKeymapNotify event, but noKeyPressorKeyReleaseevents. No keycodes are seen byxev. - In Xfce4 the display settings program is launched.
- Unlike some models,
Fn+F8does *not* send anXF86RFKillkeypress event. However, it should be possible to bind this to rfkill to achive the same result.
The following xbindkeys configuration may be needed to get volume/mic controls working properly:
"pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle"
m:0x0 + c:121
XF86AudioMute
"pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%"
m:0x0 + c:123
XF86AudioRaiseVolume
"pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%"
m:0x0 + c:122
XF86AudioLowerVolume
"pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle"
m:0x0 + c:198

Power Management
This laptop comes with an Intel Core m3-8100Y CPU 1.10GHz CPU. The rated frequencies range from 400MHz - 3.4GHz.
The intel_pstate driver is supported, with the performance and powersave governors supported. CPU scaling works with both governors.
Sensors
As this is a tablet, an accelerometer is installed and supported by iio-sensor-proxy.
The thinkpad-yoga-scripts-gitAUR may be of interest, although it needs to be converted to Python3, and will have to be modified to detect the ELAN devices (instead of WACOM).
Various temperature sensors are supported by lm_sensors.
The hardware includes neither an ambient light sensor, nor a proximity sensors.
