Or just make “Lenovo” section starting with the link.
Does the official report by Purism count here? (Perhaps not, because you want reports from independent users, which is ok to me; although official support of Qubes by the company might be relevant for users.)
I probably would be fine with any option you listed.
options A or B sound best to me. I’d lean A and also mention Insurgo’s anti-interdiction as well. sadly there’s no good link for it, details are in the text-soup of the Insurgo homepage.
as mentioned in this HCL, I would make clear this is Librem 14 v1 in the short-list. we have no control over whether there will be subsequent revisions of the Librem 14 so better to be future-proof in how we refer to it.
I wonder if it might help to somewhere nicely recommend people search the Qubes Forum before making a purchase.
Also wonder if including something, perhaps like the following, somewhere might be useful.
Recommendations are bound to change. Disagreements among the community are inevitable. Fortunately, the community is open to all and welcoming to anyone seeking more help.
Personally if someone asked me for a recommendation, I’d try to point out the warts as well as the advantages of the various options (i.e make sure someone understood both Librem’s and Lenovo’s history). But for a concise “just works” list that may be too much to try to achieve.
I will make a more thorough post about this and some may not be 4.1 specific but for Purism Librem 14:
constant charging/discharging alerts/notifications when computer into power (and yes i have followed all the instructions on forums for fixing this on 4.0 - the only workaround is to completely disable power notifications in dom0)
wifi radio is missing when resume from standby
3.5mm does not work
other
for some reason occasionally on startup sys-net and sys-firewall does not run and requires manual start …this i noticed started with rc4.
For charging and discharging behavior make sure you have latest EC firmware installed on the laptop and librem-ec-acpi-dkms installed in dom0. Then you can even change start/stop charging thresholds.
For wifi after wake up you probably need add correct modules in sys-net /rw/config/suspend-module-blacklist
I’m not sure which exactly, but some of these (Others, what modules work best for you?):
ath9k
ath9k_common
ath9k_hw

For audio jack make sure you have installed lastest corebot or pureboot firmware. Automatic switching when you plugin headphones does not work (hopefully in in future releases of firmware), so you have to manually change Output device in audio mixer.
Microphone input via headphone jack is not yet implemented and is an upcoming feature that will be provided via firmware update.
DP over USB-C on the other hand is bit more tricky and the reason that I didn’t mention it at all is because it depends on the devices that you own (in this case most likely; a USB-C monitor, hub or dock).
What I can tell is that if your current monitor/dock/hub works with Librem 14 in Linux distros such as Ubuntu or Fedora it will also work with Qubes OS.
My Dell monitor DP over USB-C works on the right side USB-C port as intended, delivering power (USB PD) and getting an image but I have had issues with USB-C docks. This is most likely caused by the Librem 14’s USB chip that handles protocols like DP over USB-C as other laptops I have had did not have issues.
@bungali,
Which version of Qubes did you install in the Librem 14?
Which version of the EC firmware are you using? (use sudo purism_ectool info to get the EC version and see this post to upgrade)
