I suggest to merge Lenovo Thinkpad T14 (AMD) Gen 1 and Lenovo Thinkpad T14s (AMD) Gen 1 into one page because tiny differences between both models are just in chassis dimensions, battery, cooling system, etc. Dmnc (talk) 07:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It might be better to merge this article with Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 (AMD), as these two laptops share the same exact motherboard, while regular T14 has a different one. NeoTheFox (talk) 10:24, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Does someone owning a T14s AMD have a similar experience to this issue ?

Secure Boot

I was able to successfully install my own secure boot keys following https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Sakaki/Sakaki%27s_EFI_Install_Guide/Configuring_Secure_Boot exactly (except I put mine in /etc/efi-keys instead of /etc/efikeys) using method 2 to add the keys. I did not delete any keys though (that tutorial has you merge your keys with the old keys), somewhere I was reading suggested that internal components may require microsoft or lenovo keys to work, which could be why it's an issue for the thinkpad and I didn't think it was worth the risk. From there I was able to set up sbupdate https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sbupdate-git and add fwupdmgr to the EXTRA_SIGN option as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fwupd#Using_your_own_keys and then got an update to the dbx file via fwupdmgr which updated it as expected.

Looking around in the bios secure boot key manager I think it might be possible to delete the microsoft keys and keep the lenovo ones, which is tempting to try but I don't think it's worth the risk for me unfortunately. If someone does try it let me know how it goes.
