The 6th generation of the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga is an Intel based 2-in-1 laptop with a 14 inches touch screen introduced in 2021. The laptop screen can be folded over transforming the device in a tablet like tool, and it comes with a stylus as an extra form of input. It uses the Intel Iris Xe graphic card and the 11th generation of Intel processors.
Accessibility
The UEFI setup utility presents modern graphic and mouse support. You can switch back to the classic text-mode user interface from withing the setup utility in order to increase compatibility with screen readers. A sighted person should support with changing this setting. The modern graphical mode is the factory default.
Firmware
In August of 2018 Lenovo has joined the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) project, which enables firmware updates from within the OS. BIOS updates (and possibly other firmware such as the Thunderbolt controller) can be queried for and installed through fwupd.
Audio
Additional firmware may be required for the sound card to function. See Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#ALSA firmware.
Accelerometer
To make this devices work with GNOME you need to install iio-sensor-proxy package.
This will allow the display to rotate as the device is oriented in different direction.
Infrared Camera
This device includes an infrared camera for face-unlocking with howdy. The built-in Chicony Electronics webcam works out-of-the-box. Choose the device /dev/video2 to use the infrared camera.
If the infrared emitter doesn't flash visibly while using the infrared camera, you can use linux-enable-ir-emitterAUR to enable it.
