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 work has been providing an Ubuntu based Linux ThinkPad X1 for over a year and it’s been great not having to deal with MS nonsense. There are some growing pains, but it’s well worth it!
Everything on my Thinkpad T440p works as well as I can reasonably expect it to. Everything from web browsing to light gaming even with my relatively resource heavy Hyprland setup.
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.
