Kjører #Mint på min #T14s Gen2, så det finnes håp!
Vet ikke hva du har prøvd så fortell gjerne mer, men generelt kan man gjøre som følger for å starte en T14s fra USB-pinne:
> You can choose an external USB drive to boot off by pressing the Enter key, waiting 10 seconds followed by F12 to choose the device, usually found at the bottom of the list.

I really hope that these frequent hard freezes on my Lenovo T14s (Ryzen 7840U, Radeon 780M) will have an end with the new Debian 13 Trixie coming soon.
Otherwise I have to consider switching to another Linux distribution.
Debian can handle these hard resets without problems, but this Windows VM I have to use for a customer ... not so much.

I have decided I'm aiming for a #Lenovo #T14 or #T14S for my birthday. I spent $400 on my current machine, a used #T480s, but the screen sucks (and camera and speakers, but... enh), and I haven't bought a *new* laptop for ten years.
But I'm going to buy *used*, dammit! There are a zillion pre-owned laptops in the world, and #Linux runs on all of them.
So this year, I'm giving myself the gift of being really fuckin' smug about my computer.
My trusty #Thinkpad #t14s AMD 3rd gen is acting weird. The click buttons stopped working, but I could click using the touchpad. Now, the #touchpad stops responding after a while (no events are detected, clicks or moves etc). This is using #Kubutu LTS. When I boot into the uefi tests, touchpad works, and as #linux boots up, touchpad works sometimes 5 sometimes 20mknutes. Any hints? Retoots welcome!
So, #fedora uses tuned-ppd, which is an power-profiles to tuned compatibility daemon.
It translates the requests over dbus for the profiles to tuned profiles, which (for powersave) contained a section
```
[video]
radeon_powersave=dpm-battery, auto
panel_power_savings=3
```
where the `panel_power_savings=3` basically translates to a parameter of #amdgpu called panel_power_savings. The kernel parameter is `amdgpu.abmlevel`: ABM level (0 = off, 1-4 = backlight reduction level, -1 auto (default)) (int)
I basically forced this to 0 to avoid the really weird panel effects. #Powertop didn't show me significant savings there.
After many years of using the Lenovo T480 as my primary computer, I finally did upgrade to a newer system.
A Lenovo T14s Gen4 AMD with the following specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U
GPU: AMD Radeon 780M (Can play games surprisingly well!)
RAM: 32GB
SSD: 1 TB
Display: 2,8K 2880x1800 OLED
Network: WI-FI 6E and 4/5G Cellular
Of course running Fedora Linux with perfect compatibility out of the box.
I'm very satisfied with the performance and how well it can run even little bit demanding games with the iGPU (Baldurs Gate 3 at solid 45fps with FSR)
Just the keyboard is a disappointing downgrade to the T480 in my opinion. I miss the key-travel, the older ThinkPads had.

One thing the 5 years of using the corporate #macbooks again (after having owned one up to 2013, but more than half of the time I ran linux on it) has convinced me of: I will _never_ buy one again. I used to own a white core2duo one which lasted 7 years at which point it was dead (broken backlight and cracked case).
The followup laptop (#dell #xps13) still works after 11 years (given to someone).
My current personal laptop is a #lenovo #t14s gen3, which is downright brilliant. And runs Linux without issues.
Hm, my #lenovo #thinkpad #t14s #gen3 AMD has an #uefi #update, and the #changelog reads
* Fixed MSFT 3rd Party CA installation failure while SecureBoot is ON & Add WMI for IoAccessFingerprintReader & IoAccess smart card.
* Fixed TSC clock not stable under Linux.
* Fixed can't change power-saver mode under linux after wakeup form DC+Lid open.
* Fixed invalid critical threshold issue under linux.
* Fixed hang-up at PBA interface after Perform a normal scan operation with unregistered FPR for 3 attempts.
* Fixed system would shut down when dock power button was pressed for 10 seconds during BIOS update.
* Fixed Fixed issue that "insert" function lost when pressed Fn+End/Insert key.
New features:
* Add Support for Maori Keyboard.
* Enable smart card pre boot function.
* Add WiFi 6E for JP.
* Add enable 6G power enhance under Linux.
And I really wonder what that last thing is.
Un ami est passé chez moi, a vu mon #Thinkpad #T14s, il me dit
« Non ! Tu n'as pas acheté ça ! » (avant j'avais un #macbookpro)
« Ça me fait penser aux corporates que je vois dans les trains ! »
« Ça fait tellement vintage ! » 🙂
Je lui ai répondu que j'assume, que c'est une bonne machine, avec un très bon support Linux et que cela faisait plus d'un an que je voulais quitter #MacOS pour retourner sous #Linux, sous #fedora
