Anyone got infos on compatibility of the Lenovo Thinkpad T450s? I could only find T470 and T440 models in the compatibility list? Whats not working on the T450s?
Thinkpad T450s Solus compatibility?
Velophil Perhaps instead of saying Harvey failed, a simple 'thank you, but could you please provide any further information' would've been more appropriate and helpful. Now to help answer your question, laptops on Linux is a very broad case. Generally speaking if a laptop has been out for a year or two, support for it's components will almost always work as devs have had the time to incorporate that. Specifically the Thinkpad T450 you're referring to does have Linux support, though you may come across an issue with the touch pad or perhaps the wifi, depending on the driver that is installed. Does someone on here have a T450 that can tell you 100% that it works on Solus? I don't know, but I've had numerous laptops over the years, and I have managed, usually rather easily to get Linux working on them all. Your mileage will very of course, but it's long been standing that Thinkpads are a good standard when it comes to Linux. If this answer somehow fails you as well, no worries I did my best with the knowledge I have, and I hope you find the answer you're looking for.
This thread indicates the wireless card may be flakey, but there is no follow-up from the poster.

You could try a live ISO and report back.
Scotty-Trees Thank you for your answer! @Harvey I didn't mean to be rude. I will give it a go and report back on any compatibility issues I encounter (and hopefully fix). So far Solus is running fantastic on three Desktop Haswell machines.
I'm the happy owner of several Thinkpads, any of them work perfectly with Solus out of the box. For info: X200, X201, R400, T530, W520.
