Hi there,
I have been using a ThinkPad X1 Extreme Edition Gen 4 and later a P1
Gen 5 since late 2021. One issue that is driving me nuts is that under
certain (yet unknown) conditions the ThinkPad seems to be sporadically
losing keystrokes when running Linux. I reported the issue to Lenovo a
long time ago, but no solution is in sight.
Has anyone also observed this behavior with a modern ThinkPad? To be
able to measure the issue I crafted a little Python script that
measures the interval between (monotonic) keystrokes and can thus
pretty easily detect when keystrokes are lost:

I am also seeing the issue when booting my Laptop from a Kubuntu 22.04
Live USB image, so I'd rule out any specifics related to my personal
setup/configuration.
Any input is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Thilo
