T480 Advice ?
I bios unlocked and enabled the custom undervolt menu on 1.44 bios using a ch341 bios programmer. This way I set the undervolt via the bios rather than throttlestop.

My new T480s
Here's the link to the uefi patches which are used to unlock the bios. https://github.com/digmorepaka/thinkpad-firmware-patches There's a very short and undetailed guide how to apply the patches to your bios. But just know that you need an external bios programmer like ch341a

Snagged a cheap Thinkpad T480 i5-8250U, would love some advice on upgrades and distros
First thing is to verify that the thunderbolt firmware is up to date and that both ports are working. Start here https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/br/en/solutions/ht508988. Then, if you want, you can buy these two and use these equipment (Ams1117 3.3v ) > aliexpress.com/item/32838236408.html with my ch341a > aliexpress.com/item/32841448145.html to make the bios mod (this will work for cards of wifi better wifi 6 and hackintosh) the patches are here (https://github.com/digmorepaka/thinkpad-firmware-patches), (it is possible to clean the intel ME) too, if you can't do it, don't risk it, ask help here in the community. I suggest backing up your bios and also the thunderbolt bios. Here is another topic from a colleague in the community and in it there is a pdf of mine where to check the cfg-lock to enable or disable.

When it finally did arrive, I was able to use a program called AsProgrammer to use the CH341a flash programmer to read the contents of the flash chip. Here are some things I noticed about using this tool:
