That isn't true. The X1 Carbon from 2019 didn't have a working microphone driver for over a year.

If you care about Linux you should only buy a machine with Linux preinstalled and officially supported.

Interesting. My wife got a X1 Carbon in 2016, that worked out-of-the-box too. Wonder what they screwed up in 2019.
