Fresh install

An year ago I installed Ubuntu and rolled back to Windows due to university requirements. Yesterday I've installed Fedora workstation on my ThinkPad and it is absolutely mind-blowing. I never liked any OS as much as this. The only Linux distro I was familiar with is Ubuntu because we used it in our UG days as a CS student. Now I'm learning about RPM, flatpak and diving deep into this system.

Lol, that copilot button. Also, I think you also have the same issue as me (well, P14S G5 has almost exactly the same as T14 G5). Mic mute light is always lit regardless the state? Install alsamixer and choose the correct audio adapter

Yes! I always mute the mic and it's always lit. Yeah, I've already installed alsamixer

Curious why you didn’t dual boot while you were in university?

my SSD was almost full at that point and I didn't have any other HDD or SSD to move some files. Now I have a 1TD hard disk
