My own experience has been wonderful. I’ve used ThinkPads with Linux for the past 15 years. Everything that I try works out of the box by default.
It is just wonderful experience. I have honestly nothing bad to say!
Does this sound like an advertisement?
My previous laptop was a $300 Chromebook. It was nice enough, but it was s hassle to have to flash legacy coreboot onto it to run native Linux.
On a ThinkPad you just add your install media and boot that shit up.
