I want try to install arch(artix) linux for my future t480, but I don’t know if it needs linux-firmware package? for good work?

No proprietary drivers are needed, but some fine-tuning might be in place. Have s look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T480You start your comment with an @ to their username, and your domain name ends on “-stodon”…
Are you posting to Lemmy from Mastodon? Is that possible?
EDIT Also, OP, check out Archwiki, that’s a great source! (in this case you can just view this person’s link, but you can treat AW as a public Linux library in the future)

It mostly is! Mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities like they’re users and then it shows as toots on their feed, and the comments look like replies.
That’s awesome!
Darn cool, had no idea. Will test this
I have a t480, and use debian. Had to install proprietary drivers for the wifi
No, you just install the OS and make sure everything works. If you find a specific device not working, then start looking for answers. Linux isn’t like Windows in that you have to install drivers for every device individually. Most are in the kernel already, so you just install and go.
I have a t480 and didn’t need to do that
