Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen3 Review – with Linux

Re:Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen3 Review – with Linux by BeefWellington on Monday May 02, 2022 @08:43AM (#31234403)

Have you used it without the dock? Because my experience with daily driving Linux at work for 10+ years with Thinkpads has been the complete opposite, with the exception of NVidia's driver garbage (which is just a problem with NVidia generally).

My current work system is a P53 that has an Nvidia GPU though and it's been working very very well for me through updates and the like via dkms.

The only other problem on that list I've encountered was within the first month or so after buying my T14s suspend support was a problem.

A bad dock can introduce a lot of problems.

That's why I bought the $400 official Lenovo dock.

Unfortunately, I can't do my daily work without the dock. (at least not without having to introduce numerous dongles and USB hubs, which may cause more issues)

I was unable to make the official dock work with my Lenovo (Fedora), but a usb-c dongle has been working without issues.

Same here, my $400 dock is completely non-functional with Fedora 35. I have read some reports it works with Arch, so maybe Fedora 36 will work.
