ThinkPad T14 Gen 7: These features work with Linux - and these features do not

[Redaktion]

We recently reviewed the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7. As always, we tested it with Windows, but for this device, we also decided to do a quick compatibility test with Linux.

Linux Mint is a stable version that runs on most equipment, however the newest equipment doesn't always have drivers for the most stable distributions.  The Linux Mint crew is working on providing a method to get the most recent drivers.  You should try a different distribution that touts support for new equipment.  I have been a Linux Mint user and fan for many years and I have never had a problem having everything working on equipment that is a few years old or much older meaning >18 years old.

Linux mint-shmint means NOTHING.
There are a ton of Linux based distribution, who cares.
What users really care about is a Kernel version where the drivers live.

Please, delegate making Linux reviews to someone with enough competence.

This article has a value of below zero.

This laptop is new, hence test it with latest Fedora or Arch those have the newest Kernel.

I use Debian Linux, which is very popular. Please test it with that.

Fedora is also very good, it's more modern looking.

As for Windows, who'd be crazy enough to use that? Given the AI slop, ads, and spyware making screenshots all the time, Windows is radioactive. It's like something that escaped from Chernobyl.
