Ubuntu Support Ongoing For The Arm-Based Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Laptop


Plans to have official support for the Arm-based Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Gen1 laptop in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS sadly didn't pan out

Plans to have official support for the Arm-based Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Gen1 laptop in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS sadly didn't pan out. But there is semi-working support available for running Ubuntu 24.04 on this Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen3 powered laptop. In a new status post Juerg mentions that the Linux 6.8 kernel of Ubuntu 24.04 is in good shape for this laptop/SoC overall, there is a new "ubuntu-x13s-settings" package to provide X13s-specific configurations currently in a PPA, and that the current Ubuntu 24.04 installer ISOs are broken on this laptop so currently you need to use the older Ubuntu 23.10 installer ISOs and then upgrade.
