I love ThinkPad and planning to buy one soon, but reporters of problems with sound and WiFi drivers concerning.
- dgzl 6y agoI've been running Arch on X1Y2 no problem
- eropple 6y agoThe newer Carbons and the X1 Extreme have had a rougher time than most Lenovo laptops. My T480 and T580 were pretty much perfect from the jump, but my X1 Extreme remains disappointing.
- petschge 6y agoRecently bought T490 worked with Debian stable out of the box.
- noisy_boy 6y agoI installed Ubuntu 19.04 on X1 Extreme Gen 2 and didn't have any issues. Upgrades to 19.10 and 20.04 have been painless as well. Everything basically works.
- eropple 6y agoI have an X1 Extreme Gen 1 and it's had power/battery issues since I got it.
- specto 6y agoYep same on the Gen 1, it's an awful machine.
- nullobject 6y agoRunning 20.04 on X1E G2 without issues here.
- petepete 6y agoProviding you pick one with intel wifi you'll have no problem. As far as I can see, that's the only real disadvantage of these AMD models.
- chmln 6y agoI mean, buying a brand-new device and using Ubuntu 19.04 with the 5.0 kernel from a year ago and outdated packages is begging for trouble. Since linux drivers live mostly in kernel space, for new devices I would imagine a lot of issues would be fixed by running the latest kernel or mainline for even newer hardware.
