I have installed Omarchy on my lenovo legion go, which has been my only computer that i have had access to for a while. i am using a monitor + kbm. it has been running linux for 18 months at this point.

A bit of an oddity where i could not use the omarchy iso to install. All of the options for the installer where off the bottom of the screen (go has a portrait screen forced into landscape, oddly enough, the omarchy.iso was the first installer to try and do it in landscape! so i think that is why all the options where offscreen)

Loving Omarchy so far, everything but one little thing is working perfectly bar this. the wifi card does not seem to be availiable to Omarchy, despite everything that i have looked at saying that it is there, the kernal modules are loaded, rfkill has not blocked it... but it just does not show in ip link
i'm at a loss... i would appreciate any help anyone could provide. below is the investigative stuff i have done. i cant see any reason it would not show up....
