The Lenovo Yoga Slim 6 (14APU8) is a premium 14″ ultrabook featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor with integrated Radeon 780M graphics, a 1920×1200 16:10 OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, and 16 GiB of LPDDR5 memory. It supports USB4/Thunderbolt, DisplayPort over USB-C, and modern audio/video streaming capabilities. The system is well-supported under Linux with minimal configuration.

## Installation

The system boots and installs without special parameters.

The Realtek RTL8852CE Wi-Fi chipset works with the `rtw89_8852ce` module included in linux-firmware-realtek.

The AMDGPU works with the linux-firmware-amdgpu and linux-firmware-other.

The Microcode for AMD processors are included with amd-ucode.

For a complete installation guide, see the Installation guide.

## Accessibility

The UEFI firmware is fully keyboard navigable with clear visual contrast and provides hardware indicators for mute, power, and charging states.

## Firmware

This system supports Secure Boot and firmware updates via fwupd.

    $ fwupdmgr refresh
    $ fwupdmgr get-updates

Recommended UEFI settings:

- Disable Fast Boot for compatibility
- Enable USB Boot if needed
- Hotkey mode enabled by default (`F1`–`F12` as media keys)

## Display

HDR works under Wayland (see HDR monitor support), for scaling and font adjustments, see HiDPI.

## Storage

NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD is supported without additional configuration. TRIM is enabled by default; see Solid state drive#TRIM.

## TPM

The firmware TPM 2.0 works with Trusted Platform Module and can be used with full disk encryption via `systemd-cryptenroll`.

## Function keys

This article or section does not follow the Laptop page guidelines.

Reason: "Complex key sequence" is not a key code. (Discuss in Talk:Lenovo Yoga Slim 6 (14APU8))

The 79-key backlit keyboard has three brightness levels. The laptop function keys generate media functions without holding `Fn` by default. To access traditional `F1`-`F12` functions, hold `Fn+F1` through `Fn+F12` or use `Fn+Esc` to toggle function keys and media key mode.

Key | Visible?1 | Marked?2 | Effect | Key code
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`F1` | Yes | Yes | Mute/Unmute audio | `XF86AudioMute`
`F2` | Yes | Yes | Volume down | `XF86AudioLowerVolume`
`F3` | Yes | Yes | Volume up | `XF86AudioRaiseVolume`
`F4` | Yes | Yes | Microphone mute toggle | `XF86AudioMicMute`
`F5` | Yes | Yes | Brightness down | `XF86MonBrightnessDown`
`F6` | Yes | Yes | Brightness up | `XF86MonBrightnessUp`
`F7` | Yes | Yes | External display toggle | `Super_L+p`
`F8` | Yes | Yes | Wi-Fi toggle | `XF86RFKill`
`F9` | Yes | Yes | Settings/Configuration | `Super_L+i`
`F10` | Yes | Yes | Screen lock | `Super_L` (incomplete sequence)
`F11` | Yes | Yes | Menu/Applications | `Complex key sequence`
`F12` | Yes | Yes | Calculator | `XF86Calculator`
`Fn+Esc` | Yes | No | Toggle Fn key behavior | Hardware level
`Fn+Space` | Yes | No | Keyboard backlight toggle | Hardware level

1. The key is visible to `wev` and similar tools.
2. The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function.

Note The `Fn` key behavior can be inverted using `Fn+Esc` or changed in UEFI settings under "Hotkey Mode".

## Touchpad

Synaptics touchpad works with libinput, supporting multi-touch gestures, palm rejection, tap-to-click, and clickpad zones.
