From personal experience, they have mostly worked flawlessly if you picked one of the standard flavors, such as Ubuntu/Fedora. I had a 14" 8th generation i5 X1 Carbon (c. 2019) and Ubuntu worked well after throwing out Windows 10. There were no touchpad or screen flickering issues either.
I know a lot of people have complaints of the build quality of Lenovo ThinkPads (as opposed to IBM era ThinkPads), but X1 Carbons are pretty nice to have and work with. I have owned Dell Latitudes and HP EliteBook at different points – but the X1 Carbon was better at battery and responsiveness.
