Ubuntu 24.04
Seems to be working. Woot!
This Thinkpad X1 Carbon is a nice box, but suspending has almost never worked properly. It seems to start the process properly, but after sitting a while, it seems to wake up in some intermediate state using a bunch of CPU power but doesn't respond to the power key, etc. So a hard reboot is required.
I followed the instruction here to load the "Mainline" kernel tools. I just installed 6.9.9.

I'm surprised how painless it was.
I'll have to pay attention to updates, of course... :-/ All I do thus far with this thing is browsing, so if I break it it's not a big loss yet.
(I haven't actually tried suspending yet - we'll see how that goes later. But I'm optimistic - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1513210/suspend-bug-for-ubuntu-24-04lts)
Cheers,
Scott.
