fwiw, I just bought a Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 and Ubuntu 19.10 worked right out of the box - even wifi and proprietary nvidia drivers. I was very surprised. I haven't tested the fingerprint scanner, but I don't use biometrics, so I can't speak to that.

Yes, thinkpads work great with linux. But if I'm going to shell out more than 4000 EUR for a top of the line P-series, I just don't want to end up with a laptop that does not hibernate or throttle correctly. For that, it is essential that the vendor provides a pre-installed OS with all the functionalities.
