please share how I can configure a T14 AMD Gen 4 with "no operating system"

cuz I have never seen "no operating system" on Lenovo's site and I've bought three thinkpads from them in the past four years!

I couldn't find that either. I did find this page for Linux options but only has one laptop. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/d/linux-laptops-desktops/?visibleDatas=857%3A14%22%20-%2014.9%22%2C15%22%20-%2016.9%22
