I do not reinstall "the OS".

One charm of this ThinkPad is it works superbly with some Arch Linux on it.

These 2 statements contradict each other. Either you reinstall the OS (OK maybe you didn't technically REinstall, but most people would call installing a different OS "reinstalling the OS") or you still running the default OS.

Installing a different OS is not 'reinstalling'

The BIOS thing was specifically targeted at Windows installations, a thing I havn't bothered with since the previous millenium.
