Just did so successfully two weeks ago, Win10 Pro on T480s, Version 2004 or 20H2, can't remember. The latest of what the Media Creation Tool gave me, anyway. Others said Win10 Home does not work anymore.

Ironically, I installed Win10 coming from Manjaro, which even on a T480s (probably one of the laptops to have for Linux compatibility) broke after every other update, so like twice a day. On the other hand, Debian/Ubuntu has been too far behind on software versions for me. Both had terrible compatibility with my Thunderbolt 3 dock. Hopefully in the future, we will meet again!

Until then, it is ridiculous how much more Win10 Just Works.

I'm surprised you didn't try one of the more mainstream stable-but-current distros, like Fedora or openSUSE.
Perhaps they didn’t try due to the difference in package management?

Fedora/openSuSE are RPM-based distros while Ubuntu uses Debian packages.
