Is anyone using Linux on the 2020 Thinkpad X1 Fold?


How good is the pen input, display management when in different folding angles..etc

Check out the archwiki for information about what hardware works. I assumed you mean the Gen 8 X1:

You can find a lot of other laptops there and see what works in what way.

Try querying/checking on the relevant subreddits, especially /r/thinkpad.

Have you tried booting into Ubuntu from a USB stick?

If you are fine with the idea, some are not, I would recommend using Windows and WSL2.
