Installation: Things which...
...work out of the box
Downright boring. Installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop 64 bit from an USB-stick. Everything obvious (graphics, touchpad, display, WiFi) works right out of the box.
...work with tweaking
Despite ordering a new 48 Wh replacement battery from Sanyo, the laptop drains a full battery quite fast if running Ubuntu 16.04 (as most Linux distros do without power optimization).
Checking the battery with
upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
reveals, that the battery is OK as advertised.
See http://thinkwiki.de/TLP_-_Linux_Stromsparen (in german, but it is only about TLP) for some hints specifically geared towards Thinkpads:
tl;dr:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms service tlp start
See how this improves runtime.
...don't work
More to come.
Recommendation
Buy.
