I have a Thinkpad T495 and run on it Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04. When I use the trackpoint in Windows it is working very smooth. It responses to the finger touch in a "lighter and smoother way". When I use the Trackpoint in Ubuntu 20.04 (or even 18.04) it generally works but the movement especially when you start pressing it is to slow, as there would be to much resistance.The finger gets tired after a while of working with the Trackpoint and work with it is a bit painful (yes, it hurts the finger top with the time really!)
The feeling using it is by far not that good as in Windows. And in the Ubuntu settings there is no separate option to set the Trackpoint speed and sensivity separately.
By other words the driver for the synaptics driver is not optimal. As I only use Trackpoint, it is for me a real criterium to use or not use Ubuntu.

Meanwhile I got some hints on askubuntu here:

The hits work but they change only the acceleration of the trackpoint. The basic sensivity is too slow and cannont be changed by this.
