Hello,

I bought a Thinkpad P16s Gen 1 laptop (AMD) and I would like to install SLED. Is it possible?

Thank you in advance!

Ubuntu and fedora versions are listed for this machine type.  
This should increase your odds of a recent linux kernel working with another distro(suse).

There might be some specific problems f.ex.:

So there is not a definite answer, but perhaps a good start would be to try first booting a live cd on your system ?
