I myself have a gen 1 E14 I use on debian. Works great aside from the fingerprint sensor not working. See this github repo for an overview of potential problems with their workarounds.
Can I bypass BIOS rollback protection?
1 project | /r/thinkpad | 8 Jul 2022

Something of an obscure problem, but I found a repo on github with information about the E14 series running Linux. This particular part of it suggests flashing bios version 1.06 to fix the problem. This brings us to the problem I encountered.

any Nano linux users here that can help me debug my trackpoint?
1 project | /r/linuxhardware | 12 Apr 2021

clicking through to the linked repo i found a page on e14 trackpoint (snapshot) that looked relevant but echo "options psmouse elantech_smbus=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf && systemctl reboot didn't fix anything for me.
Unable to update grub entries in fedora 34
1 project | /r/Fedora | 24 Mar 2021

No I did it because I was setting up my device off the thonkpad e14 linux grub argument page that I created a while back. It has since been updated with a new method and I put a warning on it.

1 project | /r/thinkpad | 20 Feb 2021

Found a solution in this guide: https://github.com/rodmaureirac/thinkpad-e14-linux/blob/main/tweaks/trackpoint/README.md. It fixed trackpoint and buttons for me. Intel version BTW.

HELP! ThinkPad E14 Gen2 - HotFix for Fnkeys in Linux
2 projects | /r/thinkpad | 10 Apr 2021

Guys, I haven't the slightest clue from scripts. Just a slight warning 👨‍💻 But I am in need of great help! I have a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad E14 Gen2, with Ryzen 7 processor. I installed -what else- Cinnamon and until now it works flawlessly. But these Laptop has a major issue, making it almost incompatible to run LInux: the fn keys are not working and you have to manually suspend the system, in order to make them functional. There's a shell script which solves all this. The script is on Github https://github.com/MichalLebeda/ThinkpadE14FnKeysFix and I would be grateful if some friend, with a lot of patience could guide so I can install it into my system! I love my machine and I am trying my best to make the best of it 💖
