Hi all,
I am thinking of replacing my old workstation with a Lenovo Thinkpad P16
Gen 2. There's one thing that makes me hesitate though: on my current
laptop (Thinkpad P1 Gen 1) the external display is hardwired to a
specific port. Sadly, I have never been able to use any external display
with that laptop. Not with the integrated graphics, nor with the
discrete graphics.
I am hoping to prevent this from happening again, as in this case that
would be a critical "failure". The idea is that this machine will run
with the lid closed using a large external monitor.
In case that might be relevant: I am planning to buy the Universal
Thunderbolt 4 Dock with this laptop.
Are there any users of this laptop here on the list that can tell me if
this exact type of Thinkpad can actually drive external displays when
running Debian? I can't find any definite information regarding this
issue on the Lenovo website and Google didn't get me any further either.
Thanks in advance for any helpful information!
Grx HdV
