I love my Lenovo X1. I tried a hacked chromebook and the Dell xps13 first. (Gave up on Apple two years ago) No driver issues at all these days. The X1 is great. The XPS13 has a weird coil whine issue. Biggest tweaks have been to window behavior with compiz. Takes five minutes to disable window snap and sticky edges.

I just run Ubuntu because it’s so common, but I’ve tried a handful of other distros. Some are quite nice. I do miss Omnigraffle though, and my Apple purchased music is unplayable. I should sue them and set legal precedent forcing them to unlock on request.
