I’m on a Thinkpad T14s for work, running Arch. Sleep/resume isn’t a problem, battery life is fine (haven’t measured but it’s probably around 8 hours) and the GPU is acceptable for the work I am doing.

Funny enough, what actually hit me in the face was an audio driver regression, but after a minor kernel update it’s seemingly back in business. A lot of stuff changes, but man, Linux audio really never changes.

If you really need GPU switching, that one definitely would be a bummer, but I’d really prefer a single GPU that can just handle light and heavy workloads reasonably. I think that’s probably going to be the norm soon.

Another thing oft overlooked is Thunderbolt support: it’s definitely not as good on Linux. I’m currently just using a non-Thunderbolt USB-C dock because my needs are not crazy enough to need more.
