Hi,
Recommend putting a post on the Lenovo linux forums - it’s easier for me to point others in the team there and for them to respond (English Community-Lenovo Community)
But - that sounds like something fairly major went wrong if all those thins were working previously and stopped. Would you mind sharing your kernel logs? You can send them to mpearson-lenovo at squebb dot ca

In both links you wrote here I miss at least 1 laptop: mine.
I have used Fedora 39 KDE, Fedora 40 KDE and am now using Fedora Kinoite 40 on a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ARH7H with:
- 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics
- 16 GB of ram
- Nvidia RTX3060 graphics card
- AMD Radeon 680M graphics card
- Samsung nvme SSD
Everything works great and I’m very happy with Kinoite.

That laptop doesn’t officially support Linux, which is why it’s not listed.
Yes, I know, but since it works great I thought I mention it.

Regarding the pen, I see it seems to be GNOME issue: Input devise disabled on fullscreen windows after Gnome 46 update - Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware - EndeavourOS
Regarding the 120+HZ it’s also known issue of the kernel, but I can not find it (
Hi Everyone,
I am willing to get a refurbished secondhand Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9, which I found one with a 4K display with additional upgrade of 2TB internal NvMe SSD.
I’m basically willing to get this secondhand temporary laptop for mainly practicing my Linux skills and also containerization skills with Docker and Kubernetes.
But because I’ve seen that the heading of this thread mentioned negative reviews about this generation 9 of the X1 Carbon model, I was wondering if Fedora 40 Workstation was supported on this laptop or not.
Does anyone know? I tried to google it but couldn’t find any results since this laptop is like 3 years old I thought?
Thanks for your replies in advance guys, appreciate it a lot!
Hi,
We officially tested Fedora 33 on the Carbon G9 (that seems such a long time ago…why does time move so quickly).
All support for the laptop is upstream, so the expectation is newer versions of Fedora will continue to fully work with the laptop - and you can let us know if there are issues and we’ll get them fixed.
I’ll highlight that if you call Lenovo support with a refurb unit that didn’t ship with Linux…they won’t help you. So depending on what your definition of ‘support’ is the answer to your question could be yes or no…how official you want your support to be 
?
Side note - I’ve had no issues with my X1C9. It’s a popular Linux laptop.

Lenovo has Linux laptops in Brasil, but they come with old debian pre-installed distro, for me it was easy to just install fedora, but it would be cool for it to come preinstalled with it

Thanks a lot Mark for your reply!
That’s so good to hear! 
love that the latest Fedora version 40 is still supported for this laptop!
I’m going to be ordering it next week!
Oh but I’m also glad you didn’t have any sort of hardware issues with your X1C9! I was just worried if I would have the same sort of heating issues with it tbh… let’s hope it won’t have any once I get it!

Depending on the region (US here) Lenovo does offer laptops with fedora, Ubuntu, or RHEL, preinstalled. (Usually hard to find on their site) I just picked up a x1 gen 12 and came with fedora 39 preinstalled. Quick update to 40 and everything works gloriously!

That’s good, here it only says Linux in the OS specifications, but i couldn’t choose
The above link should provide what is “supported” by Lenovo from a Linux perspective. Of course we know far more works than that tho.

my Ideapad isn’t even there lmao, and it came with linux
Is that one of the Brazil models with Satux or Lux?
If so - those aren’t part of the official Linux program. They are a Brazil only program and there are some significant limitations with the implementation (including the fact that you don’t get FW updates on LVFS and support isn’t necessarily upstream).
If they’re still selling systems with Satux - don’t buy it. It’s not worth the headaches.

Make sure it’s a hardened install, so that you don’t get sad panda faces after people buy those laptops and something starts to go awry. This way you can start to aspire to dream to market it as the most secure OS packaged with the laptop, as it should be.
It seams that Brazil is not included in the Lenovo-Fedora world domination plan

Definitely not! First, Lenovo Brazil engineers use a Linux that has been discontinued for about 10 years, Satux… Then they create a Linux, Lux… It’s hard to understand how a company like Lenovo doesn’t have a central administration with its own guidelines.

I think it has to do with all the regulations. When you see everything coming from outside is taxed as crazy and really is not interesting for the average population and also because of the weakness of the local currency.
The other issue is the Language Barrier we do have with the rest of the world. In this time Satux was probably one of the only “Brazilian” Debian based Distribution.
Different administrations, salaries and thinking … and a different Market
