This is supported in Bazzite thanks to the fsync kernel.

• Comment from @KyleGospo :

  This is supported in Bazzite ⋯

  Do you mean "already added" or "could be added" in Bazzite?

  ⋯ thanks to the fsync kernel.

  Does Bluefin and Aurora not use the same kernel?
  Would it be impossible for Aurora and Bluefin to include LenovoLegionLinux otherwise?

Bluefin/Aurora does not use the fsync kernel currently. However, this may be something considered in the future since it includes the surface/Asus patches as well.

That said, you are able to swap the kernel in a custom image. Fsync has all of the akmods built in ublue-os/akmods as well.

Looking into the fsync kernel, it seems very interesting for the HWE variant

What would be the tradeoff to consider to make Bluefin and Aurora switch to the fsync kernel, or at least only for the HWE variant?
