I recently got a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 9 laptop. On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS it was overheating under load. It took me a few hours but I figured out a fix. I blogged about it so hopefully no one has to comb through forum posts to solve this problem again.

@darius since you mentioned secure boot on the X1, note that there is a WONTFIX security issue related to the MOK key that DKMS generated that allows a local adversary to sign new kernel modules and bypass lockdown protections. bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sou

@darius I love me a ThinkPad, but Lenovo has really been fucking up the thermal/power aspects of them for years.
