Hi!
@Mirdarthos , Yes, I’m aware of those reddit posts:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/1cgal6u/thinkbook_13x_gen_4_2024/
and related github page:
I share all links in case it helps some others. This guy craigcabrey made a great job.
Linux support seems to be fairly good (in general, most tested in Fedora apparently), check last comment here.
I was mostly interested in this kernell panic issue with Manjaro, in case @crc had some news. That’s why I posted initially here.
I noticed this morning this kernel page: If I understeed this correctly, it looks like something is coming in 6.14.0-rc5 related to IPU6…we will soon know I guess.
@linux-aarhus , don’t worry, I have some experience on this and I made my own research before purchasing and I can still sent it back in case of bad surprise.
I made my trade-off between risk (limited I think) and having all the criteria I wanted, which ended with very little choice (damn, high end laptops are getting so expensive now…)
Note: even a “linux compatible” device can be not so compatible, my previous one was an XPS13 developper edition, ubuntu pre-installed, which did’nt prevent Dell to use a poorly supported wifi chip & unsupported camera (at beginning, it worked not too bad after some time).
