Well duh, s76 ship their laptops with their own Linux distro and actually test stuff. Lenovo… Not so much. Not that thinkpads are bad in any way, shape or form (love 'em, use 'em, have 4 myself), but you’re comparing a manufacturer that ships windows laptops to one that ships Linux laptops and somehow expect the former to work better, which is counterintuitive.
If you want an example, tho, duckduckgo 06cb:009a linux (which is the fingerprint reader on t480/t480s/x280/etc) and look at the shenanigans necessary to make it work.
