What have we here? First boot attempt with FreeBSD 14.1 aarch64 on a Thinkpad T14s gen6, running a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor.

A few next steps, update the BIOS and other firmware blobs, mess around with some dtb files, poke and prod, iterate as usual.

Did you know that you can customize the boot image in some Lenovo Laptop. I did it for my X280.

I wrote a little tutorial about https://adminblog.foucry.net/posts/info/lenovo_hack/it (sorry it's in French) :

@[email protected] yep, that's a fun mod! ooh the X280 was a great laptop, and is still a great laptop! somewhere around here is a X260 waiting for a panel upgrade, will give your tutorial a shot before disassembly occurs. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Happy to give you this info.

To be honest, I think I prefer my X220 than my X280. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
