This article covers the installation and configuration of Arch Linux on the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s (Intel) Gen 6 laptop.

For a general overview of ThinkPad-related articles and recommendations, see Laptop/Lenovo.

Firmware

This model is fully compatible with fwupd.

Run the following command to detect system components: fwupdmgr get-devices

This will detect:

  • System Firmware
  • UEFI BIOS
  • Webcam
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • CPU/GPU
  • TPM
  • NVMe controller

CPU

The laptop features an Intel Arrow Lake-H processor with a hybrid architecture (Performance-cores and Efficient-cores).

The intel-ucode package should be installed for microcode updates.

Frequency scaling is handled by the intel_pstate driver in active mode by default.

Tip Verify your CPU frequency scaling driver with cpupower or: 
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
intel_pstate

GPU

This laptop uses a hybrid graphics solution: see NVIDIA Optimus for configuration options (e.g., PRIME).

Touchpad

To disable sleep wake-up from touchpad, see Lenovo ThinkPad T14s (AMD) Gen 3#Disable wakeup from sleep on touchpad activity (applicable to most ThinkPads).

Audio

It requires sof-firmware and alsa-ucm-conf for proper functionality. The microphone and speakers should work out of the box with PipeWire or PulseAudio.

Smartcard reader

See Smartcards for configuration.

Fingerprint reader

The Goodix reader is supported by fprintd.

Power management

Sleep modes

S3 (deep) sleep is typically not supported on Intel Arrow Lake mobile CPUs.

s2idle (S0ix) is the default and works out of the box.

Charge thresholds

Battery charge thresholds (also called Battery conservation mode) can be set using: TLP, KDE and GNOME power management.

Note TLP and power-profiles-daemon are conflicting. Choose one method.
