One Year with ThinkPad and Linux (From MacBook Pro)

Sounds like you’ve not had Linux on a laptop for a while, it’s no where near as bad as you describe.

I run NIxOs on a Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2.

I really love it and it “sparks joy” for me too. Especially because I understand how it’s lit together and sort of “built it” and contribute to the Platform. Very satisfying.

I have literally used Linux as my daily desktop driver at work for 6 years and counting.

I'm not saying it can't be a great experience if you have a well defined use case such as development. But for an all-round, no compromises experience when stepping outside of development (and this does annoy me btw) I find MacOS to give the least worst set of compromises.

I even watch DistroTube and read r/unixporn. I love Linux!
