Thinkpad X1 Carbon (lemm.ee)

I am strongly considering picking up a recent gen X1 Carbon. I really the like the idea of the device, having cellular data, working fingerprint reader and maybe even using it with an eGPU for some gaming. How possible is all of this on Linux? UPDATE: I managed to find a 9th Gen Carbon with LTE, I can't wait it for it to get here. Arch Wiki indicates everything should work.

I had a 6th gen Carbon and all the peripherals worked out of the box on Ubuntu. I never used an eGPU though.

I now have a Lenovo P14s (4th gen) and it was a bit rocky at first (power settings weren't scaling correctly, amdgpu drivers were rough at first), but with the latest kernel and drivers, everything works great. Fingerprint sensor works every time.
