ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen: BiOS update adds S3 suspend support for Linux
- fiji-flo 8y agoFinally Lenovo gave in and we don't need the community hack (https://github.com/fiji-flo/x1carbon2018s3 https://github.com/fiji-flo/x1carbon2018s3) anymore! Thanks for all the support and contributions to this project.
- winceschwab 8y agoThis headline was very confusing, since Googling S3, for context that doesn't involve AWS is nearly impossible. Favorite search result: https://www.s3integration.com/company/executive-bios/ https://www.s3integration.com/company/executive-bios/
- acchow 8y agoGoogling "bios s3 suspend" gave me good non-AWS results.

- regecks 8y agoIf you're looking for a great Linux laptop, this is one. Very happy with the 5th gen.
- nullify88 8y agoRunning a 3rd Gen with Fedora 28. No issues but I could do with more RAM than the 8GB limit.
- bubblethink 8y agoHow does windows behave with this option ? Would be interesting for those dual-booting. Things should work fine, but any major noticeable differences due to the lack of connected standby mode in windows ?
- pen2l 8y agoI have the 6th gen X1, but still using Windows, and still its behavior bugs me a little bit -- I almost never really shut down my laptop (does anyone?) -- I simply close and open the lid. Annoyingly, the X1 still wants to persistently be connected to my Airpods via bluetooth. So lid close doesn't actually put it on sleep suspend, it's some other weird middle suspend mode which is not really suspended at all.
