I will say that linux has amazingly improved. I haven't had a single problem with my t440s wrt wifi or displays. NetworkManager for wifi and xrandr --auto for displays.. and I'm good to go. Even my thinkpad dock has been working perfectly.
And of course, the thinkpad keyboards are damned nice.
When was the last time you used a linux laptop? Because it doesn't sound recent (within 2 years)
