I have a T420 I use occasionally, mostly in the winter when its cold in
my basement (main computer center). I switched to MX Linux sometime
around Sep 2025 from Debian. Debian was steadily becoming less stable.
MX w/ XFCE (SysV init version) has worked well). All of the touchpad,
network and other issues disappeared.
