#Linux distros: the gateway drug to a world of terminal commands, endless customization, and questionable desktop environments or apps. Enter at your own risk. But one thing is clear: you will not return to the old OS once you start installing Linux willingly on your Thinkpad.

This is a better version:

ThinkPad + Linux Distro = 💔 for Your Old OS

Once you go penguin on your ThinkPad, there's no turning back. Say goodbye to the boring default world and hello to a universe of terminal sorcery, personalized perfection, and the occasional desktop environment that makes you question your life choices. 🐧✨ #LinuxLove

@nixCraft Just yesterday I installed pop os on a think pad t480.

@nixCraft can confirm. I have two older thinkpads (an e and yoga series) that are running fedora. Manjaro before that. Even the fingerprint scanner just works. Fwupd even gets occasional firmware updates still. A night and day difference on overall usability, battery life etc.

@Terminhell @nixCraft Bought a used T60 over a decade ago, telling the guy from the tiny company installing Ubuntu for me "I don't expect the fingerprint scanner to work", just to calibrate my expectation level for him and put him at ease 😁
