I just wanted to make a post in appreciation of the beautiful experience of running Linux on a Thinkpad as a main system. I picked up my X1 Extreme 2nd gen (now known as the P1) in 2019 and never even booted its Windows OS. Pop!_OS went into it immediately and it has only let me down once (grub screw up that was relatively easy to fix). I’m looking at this system that has been in constant use for almost seven years and I just cannot find a reason to upgrade to the P1. It’s just flawless.
Linux on a Thinkpad is the ultimate workhorse IMHO.
Found a T430 bascially in a dumpster - some guy was about to throw it away, we just had to 3d-print a power button, take out a broken ram stick and clean it up. Looks like new now. Installed Cachy and KDE on it, as i´m just used to Arch but didn´t want the headache of setting it up. Now it´s the workhorse at my workplace. this 14yr old brick is just nicer to use than the other laptops at our disposal :D
For private use i got a T420, using it to watch stuff in bed, read books and even retro gaming. It´s almost in daily use and fulfills my needs without any hiccups :D
