I have a similarly spec’d E14 Gen 6. I run Fedora and am very happy. I didn’t need to do anything, everything ran out of the box (even the fingerprint sensor and the little nob).
I would recommend a Thinkpad. I have an E14, you can get them for under 800 Bucks. The Linux support is awesome ,under Fedora everything works out of the box.
