I used to own an 9th Gen X1 Carbon but the speakers were god-awful given the lack of a DSP. Otherwise a very nice laptop though, amazing keyboard. This is going to sound crazy, but I picked up a Lenovo ChromeBook since my last post and just installed the Linux environment on it. For my needs (I SSH/Parsec into my Mac for most off-cloud workloads) it’s a combo of “just works” and *NIX where I need it. Since it’s cheap too I don’t care if it breaks which is a plus.
