Is anyone running CentOS on a newish Thinkpad? I have been using Linux as my primary workstation since about 97 and it seems like using Linux as a desktop has slipped over the years. After the Gnome desktop dumb-down, I have been nursing CentOS 6.8 on a 5 yo Toshiba. So I was hoping that someone has some recent real-world experience with new Thinkpads. So is anyone running a new Thinkpad? What

I've had success on "older" model Lenovos.....(T-410 / T-420 / T-430) but anything beyond those seems to have some issue or another. I was even able to swap the standard drive to an SD (250GB) on a T-430 and it's running g like a champ. A lot of the newer stuff is OK as long as you don't have any boutique drivers for video network or sound. YMMV. On Sep 29, 2016 9:18 PM, John

...ed). I have personal knowledge about CentOS-7 on a Lenovo T520 and a W541 as I have run both of those as my main workstation using CentOS-7. Everything works fine on these. I also know that the T440 and T450 work, X1 Carbon Generation 3 and lower work (with CentOS-7). There are some issues with T460 and X1 Carbon Generation 4. The issue seems to be really only Bluetooth and is expected to be fixed in the upcoming 7.3 RHEL source code.

It is very comparable to the Lenovo T460 actually. Anyone run CentOS successfully on either of these? Mike

...eding-edge hardware compatibility. For example, I think the synaptics driver is almost always broken in the latest models (move the mouse and it deletes everything you've typed!) but if you uninstall it and use libinput it can work. So my thought is instead of getting the latest which would be T460, I could get the previous model which would be the T450. These are sold out on lenovo.com but they can still be had elsewhere (not sure about warranty which is hugely important though). So does anyone have any specific knowledge of the T450, T450s, T450p? I really appreciate all the answers. Hope...
