I did and it worked out fairly well. Lenovo x1 6th gen fingerprint reader didn't work out well but everything else was easy on ubuntu and mint.

Even if you aren't using arch this compatibility list can be a big sign of how your hardware will do; https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_(...

Did you try this for the fingerprint reader, out of curiosity? https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity/blob/master/pyth...

I don't have a Lenovo, I have a Dell, but while tinkering to get the fingerprint reader on my machine working, I had come across this (and I understand it works for Lenovo).

Not that one, but I found something that sort of worked but the false rejection rate was way higher than the windows driver. I just used a password and got a new machine this year.
