I was very excited to get my 'new' T14s Ryzen 5 16gb laptop. So keen to get Fedora installed and it felt so mega swift. Looked clean, tidy, snappy.
However, after the main updates, the issues occurred.
VLC media player refused to play the headphones continuously, only in an initial burst then gone, silent.
Dragon media player would play but then crashed, the whole system.
Next, no boot - latest kernel had gone bad. So revert to the one before. That then went bad also.
Revert to the one remaining and give up.
So, Ubuntu 24.04 and after the bizarre issue upon first run (maybe Wayland), where icon buttons to click registered the click (changed colour slightly) but they wouldnt go anywhere. Not all on a page, just one or two when the other clickable parts worked fine...so try xorg and then seemingly plane sailing.
Now with my usual apps installed obsidian, vlc, writer, chrome...and some basic aesthetic changes, maybe, just maybe, I have the stable and fast and pleasant looking linux setup I was after.
Also will mention for those who do not know and experience similar issues - on both my L390 and this T14S, when using an aftermarket power charger, of the right wattage, it causes the touchpad cursor to become laggy, a bit drunken swaying, heavy. If you experience the same issue, ponder it could be the charger. As in my case using the proper Lenovo charger solved the issue.
