"This is what it looks like when an OEM stops treating Linux support as an afterthought and starts treating it as engineering. Not a checkbox on a spec sheet. Not a “works with Linux” footnote. Actual kernel work, actual upstream contributions, actual collaboration with the people building the tools developers use every day and helping the Linux community as a whole."
Kudos to #Dell folks and well done

So, I did some #firmware updates but apparently this laptop does NOT like being connected to a docking station for two days straight just idling.
It's a generic USB-C dock but provides microSD and SE card slots, several USB 3 ports, Ethernet, and dual displays via DisplayPort.
This dock previously was dedicated to my home office with my work laptop, an HP Elitebook. The dock works fine but apparently there are weird power issues on the later high end #ThinkPad models related to the use of non-Lenovo docks that trip up or otherwise confuse the laptop's power and embedded controllers. Additionally, the two TB4 ports are different. This is specific to the new #AMD #Ryzen 9 #AI #HX370 #laptop chips and not #Intel.
Still researching but as awesome as this laptop is, spec-wise, it feels like #Lenovo rushed it to market without the proper testing it needed.
It also does NOT help that Lenovo shipped this with #OEM #Ubuntu but their support pages *only* cover #Windows 10/11.
A brand new laptop should NOT have this many #problems. Ugh.
