From Fedora Project Wiki

Page to keep track of Linux support development for Thinkpad t14s (Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite), a Thinkpad with an Arm CPU.

Most of the following information comes from #aarch64-laptops on OFTC and #fedora-arm on Libera.chat and arm[AT]lists.fedoraproject.org. Upstream information changes daily, so this page may be outdated.


Bootable images

Currently support is very basic. and the only thing verified to work is the rawhide raw images from USB.


  • The kernel must be booted with the kernel parameters clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused
    • You need to tell grub about the correct DTB as the firmware does not have a Linux boot option. This approach will let you install newer kernels via dnf.
      • Add the following line to the /boot/loader/entries/* file(s):
        devicetree /dtb/qcom/x1e78100-lenovo-thinkpad-t14s.dtb
      • Edit /etc/default/grub, and add the kernel parameters listed above to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Add a new line: `
        GRUB_DEFAULT_DTB=/dtb/qcom/x1e78100-lenovo-thinkpad-t14s.dtb
      • Edit /etc/kernel/cmdline, and add the kernel parameters listed above.
