Is there a difference between the Ubuntu oem image and what you get from the Ubuntu website? Asking because when my Gen 1 AMD T14s was new it was listed as fully compatible but the trackpoint would skip due to a firmware issue specific to Linux. Had I known I’d have gone a different direction.

The OEM kernel is available in the repo too, though requires that the kernel in the ISO works enough for your hardware to get to that point. More info about that OEM kernel is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/OEMKernel, and worth looking into when you have really new hardware and running slightly older OS releases.
