<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 1 with arch linux. I want to share my experience for people hesitate to buy it and maybe have solutions to my problems. I&#39;m using Wayland + Sway. I have an external monitor 4k LG.</p> <p>Good news, everything work out of the box, I did not have any surprises regarding the material (<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T14s_(AMD">https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T14s_(AMD)_Gen_1</a>_Gen_1)). My external monitor works very well with my configuration (I&#39;m using kanshi to configure the resolution). My computer is connected by USB-C which means that I will never run out of battery.</p> <p>Here are all my problems:</p> <ul> <li>After 8 months of use I have three keys on the keyboard which no longer works randomly (space, enter and &quot;|\&quot; keys). I&#39;m not alone: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/ownqq8/t14s_amd_enter_and_backspace_stop_working/">here</a>, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/ky2gxv/t14s_amd_issue_with_unresponsive_returnbackspace/">here</a>, ... I&#39;m waiting for a response from the support team.</li> <li>My laptop screen is a FULL HD screen (1920x1080), I don&#39;t know if this is the cause but my applications seems me blurry (slightly). I tested a lot of settings but without success. The blurry is more important for electron applications.</li> <li>Firefox. No link with my machine but it&#39;s amazing how unstable it is. My current bug: impossible to open the &quot;select&quot; menu and some slowdowns. Before the recent update I had randomly crashes. I wanted to switch to Brave but the blurry rendering stings my eyes too much.</li> <li>Microphone is not of good quality. External mic is required.</li> <li>The top of the computer is often very hot and I &quot;regularly&quot; have fans blowing. For your information, I mainly do development (neovim, ssh, docker, k8s, ansible, ...).</li> </ul> <p>My biggest problem is the blurry rendering as well as my keyboard. Anyone of you using wayland and not having a rendering problem?</p> <p>In conclusion, I&#39;m not really satisfied. Thank you for your feedback.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Taslim42"> /u/Taslim42 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/por1cb/share_my_experience_with_my_thinkpad_t14s/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/por1cb/share_my_experience_with_my_thinkpad_t14s/">[comments]</a></span>
