- pizza234 3y agoIt's a bit of a mess, as it's not clear what and how they're doing it. For example, the ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 4 is officially Ubuntu certified, however: - they've officially promised to ship Linux as an option, last year, but they didn't fulfill the promise - if one tries to run the current LTS (Ubuntu 22.04), it hangs, presumably because such version still requires an OEM version It's interesting how "officially supported" doesn't imply "runs out of the box with a stock OS image".
- vetinari 3y agoUbuntu LTS has point releases that come with additional hardware enablement. Is it still an issue with 22.04.4, or was it issue with the original, now two years old 22.04 release?
- pizza234 3y agoWhen I've tested (December), it was the latest point release. By that time, it was already certified, so the certification must have been performed with an OEM release. I can't exclude that it's fully supported by the latest dot release, but they should also release it in parallel as preconfigured option, so I'm not optimistic (and regardless, it's messy).
