Great Linux support on the laptops thanks to Red Hat collaboration? I work for Red Hat and the t490s and t14s have had their fair share of compatibility issues. When released the t14s was freezing daily for many colleagues. The thunderbolt dock support is abysmal, our IT support is overwhelmed with request and random issues. My docking (hosting HDMI, one usb switch with mouse, keyboard, webcam and headset) has always worked perfectly on my t480s but acts up on the t14s up to the point IT told me they ran out of idea and just suggest an exchange.

I agree when the laptop gets to the second hand market, rough edges have been smoothened and Linux support is above competition. On release day? It's not perfect.
