linux-and-thinkpad-scripts

These are custom scripts I have used when running linux, as well as some specific fixes to Thinkpad problems. Seeing that there may be a day I need to reference these scripts or redeploy them on a new computer, this repository will hold the various scripts I have found useful.

The folder name indicates what type of scripts or guides is contained within. If certain scripts were specific to one device, the folder name will be the name of the device, categorized by model. For example, the thinkpads directory contains scripts specific to thinkpads, and the P16s folder contains files speciic to the Thinkpad P16s.

devices and distros

The scripts were used on the following distros:

  1. Fedora Linux 36-43
  2. PostmarketOS Edge (for the chromebook specific scripts)

Most scripts should work on other distros, but specifics of installation may change.

scripts were developed, tested, and mostly deployed on the following devices:

  1. ThinkPad P16s (Intel) Gen 1 (2022)
  2. ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 3 (2018)

Additionally, scripts in chromebook-duet were tested on:
