Before I switched to Mac, I was a major ThinkPad adherent. It was the best laptop hardware. Anyone have experience running Linux on one of their recent models?

I run Ubuntu out-of-the-box on a ThinkPad Yoga X1 and everything works pretty well, including the docking station, the digitizer, touch screen, hotkeys, battery life. Same was true with my older Thinkpad T420 (which had Nvidia Optimus). The good hardware combined with the good drivers is the reason why I did not yet switch to Mac.

On a Thinkpad T Series T460 I have had some issues with getting the correct setup on the touchpad for gesture use on arch but if you are a mouse user regularly, this issue isn’t much. Past that, arch ran wonderfully.

I have a 2017 Thinkpad X1 Carbon running arch--I can't seem to change my trackpoint sensitivity, but that's about the only issue I've had.
