I am going to assume you mean the 10th generation X1 Carbon since that
is the newest one of that line. Please can you check and confirm if this
is the case?
If it turns out that you DON'T mean the 10th gen X1 Carbon then I think
my advice below is still reasonable but I'd want to find some example of
it actually working for someone else first. It is still, regrettably,
entirely possible to buy a laptop that has major functionality not
working in Linux.

Not what I would consider to be "working", but I suppose you just meant
it boots and could get into a graphical desktop!
I do not have this particular model but it seems that Arch users have
it almost entirely working:

You are very likely going to need a newer kernel, firmware-linux-free,
firmware-linux-nonfree and perhaps others (note the mention of soundcard
firmware).
I'd probably start by trying bookworm-backports versions of these. If no
joy I'd try booting the forthcoming trixie installer in live mode to
see if that works better. To be honest for a new install today
especially on a laptop I'd probably go straight for trixie anyway as
it's very close to release as stable.
Thanks,
Andy
