    I have only been a Linux user for one year and I already want to install everywhere. The urge is real.

    Asking out of curiosity, what makes these better than other consumer based ones with fwupdmgr support?

      From my experience with a modern Thinkpad (A485); nothing if not outright inferior. The trackpoints on them are pretty terrible compared to classic IBM-era thinkpads (10-20hz polling rate, abysmal velocity curve). The physical durability of the machine might be above-average for business laptops, but the chance of the hardware failing in some major way within warranty seems to be quite high (among other replacement parts, I had 4-5 mainboard replacements done under warranty). The cooling solution on the Thinkpad I used to use was also a fair bit inadequate, and would lead to severe thermal throttling of the mid-range APU. Honestly between the reliability and torturous process to even buy a new Thinkpad from Lenovo, I just wouldn’t bother.

      I’ll feed the troll. Have you tried archlinux on your prebuilt overpriced space heater?

      You come to a community called linuxmemes and comment on a joke calling Linux fanboys stupid. Tell me, do you know how to fix your windows machine when it throws an error or do you just click on report it to Microsoft? Dell saw you coming and said let’s get this asshole’s money. You throw 4k oled out there on a 15 inch screen like it some fancy ass shit. Boy, you better have your eyeball on that screen if you think you can see a difference between 4k and 1080p on such a small screen Stupid ass Windows endusers. Go back to reddit and enjoy your consumer grade shit. We’re here to break shit and run doom.
