Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court (Presidential Memoranda)
I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States or in matters before executive departments and agencies of the United States.
I further direct the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to prioritize enforcement of their respective regulations governing attorney conduct and discipline.
I further direct the Attorney General to take all appropriate action to refer for disciplinary action any attorney whose conduct in Federal court or before any component of the Federal Government appears to violate professional conduct rules, including rules governing meritorious claims and contentions, and particularly in cases that implicate national security, homeland security, public safety, or election integrity.
I further direct that, when the Attorney General determines that conduct by an attorney or law firm in litigation against the Federal Government warrants seeking sanctions or other disciplinary action, the Attorney General shall, in consultation with any relevant senior executive official, recommend to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, additional steps that may be taken, including reassessment of security clearances held by the attorney or termination of any Federal contract for which the relevant attorney or law firm has been hired to perform services.
I further direct the Attorney General, in consultation with any relevant senior executive official, to review conduct by attorneys or their law firms in litigation against the Federal Government over the last 8 years. If the Attorney General identifies misconduct that may warrant additional action, such as filing frivolous litigation or engaging in fraudulent practices, the Attorney General is directed to recommend to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, additional steps that may be taken, including reassessment of security clearances held by the attorney, termination of any contract for which the relevant attorney or law firm has been hired to perform services, or any other appropriate actions.
Sorry to not really answer your question, but I'm just curious what distros and kernel combinations you've tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don't support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I've heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it's an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I've seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn't on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it's really not supported.
To answer your question a bit. I've honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don't even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don't suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.
