I bought the X1 6th gen, but ended up returning it for a refund due to poor Linux support.

There is no excuse for breaking S3 suspend.

Did you find anything besides S3 that didn't work? I have the 6th gen X1 and once I patched in ACPI my ubuntu install has worked perfectly.

Can you please tell me what the battery life is on Ubuntu (with ACPI patch) vs Windows (with or without ACPI patch)?

I didn't have windows on long enough to get solid battery numbers, but on ubuntu I get 8 hours of work use.

Touchpad was broken... Needed manual tweaking of configs. And even then it seemed I can have different speed for trackpad and touchpad.. I'm not impressed..

Also there is reports the CPU is underclocked on Linux..

And is the patch even a solution that is stable past the next kernel update?

Oh, each the mobile broadband didn't work either...

Obviously, fingerprint did work as usual... And I couldn't figure out if NFC works.
