> Yes, people who tell you that you can blindly buy any Lenovo laptop for Linux are lying. I wouldn't say they're lying, per se, just that it's not 100% true.

If you use PopOS with an X1 Extreme then almost all of those features work out of the box. On another OS they may not though. A good portion of what OP is describing require some applications present (and configured) in the userland, just having drivers isn't enough. The bit about grub I'm not sure about, but I believe it; that said grub is always a YMMV situation in my experience.
