What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI have a full guide to install arch on a lenovo x1 carbon gen 6 (with notes on the patch this post is about), right here if you would like to get it done.

The hardware is all supported from the get go, no tweaking or hacks to get it working (well, besides the bios + s3 hack). Besides the patch provided by the OP, everything else works without issue on Linux. It's kind of why this is so upsetting, in a way... the ability to make a linux machine doesn't require specialty companies, it just requires vendors not do dumb crap like completely dropping support for something without warning, etc.
