Hi

I run proxmox and Ubuntu machines on my server , but have always used a windows laptop(which is work based).

The work laptop now is very restricted so I was thinking of getting a laptop with Linux.

There are a few ThinkPad X1 carbon gen 7 i7 on sale in Europe.

I was wondering would they work well for Linux.

I just be using it as a daily driver , battery life is prob main concern.

Thank

    Thinkpad X1 Carbons are absolutely flawless in Linux… I’ve used Gen 5s and now have a Gen 9.

      Gen 10 checking in, still works flawlessly.

      You can’t beat the ease of firmware updates either. lvfs/fwupdmgr take care of updates for both my laptop and Lenovo TB4 docking station.
