Congrats for a good working system. Lenovo professional range laptops are usually working quite well with Linux, just use recent enough Linux version.
Yeah, it's come a long way. If my wife can use it without blowing a gasket, I'd call it a ringing endorsement.
There is no Ubuntu 24. There is a Ubuntu 24.04 though which was the last LTS release. Ubuntu uses a Date based version numbering system. Every 6 months. April and October. The month part of the version number is important. Had you not of mentioned the LTS I would have mentioned you are behind and should upgrade. End rant.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Politely I will have to disagree.
I use a X1 gen 10 and I come across numerous little issues that I have to work around. Most egregious is the broken webcam after the 6.14 kernel update. But also multiple monitor scaling issues, flickering, sleep issues. I wouldn't be confident giving this laptop or OS to my mother.
The webcam and mic worked out of the box, there might be something to say about about using older hardware for more stability. I was actually hoping that because my laptop is from 2020 it would have less issues and it seems to be the case ...
Linux for Human Beings.
Ubuntu is a popular Linux operating system for PC / mobile devices, etc.
Developed by Canonical & based on Debian (another older Linux OS) which is known for it's rock solid stability.
Ubuntu is trusted everywhere computing by professionals and common users alike.
