You can't go wrong with a ThinkPad. I switched from Mac to a T480 with Arch for dev work and it's been great.


I'm running a bunch of ThinkPads with Fedora & all works fine (and worked fine for years).


We’re running Thinkpads at work with fedora and they really don’t.


Any specifics what does not work ?


Hibernation. External monitor support is buggy. Pulseaudio is buggy with external microphone. IR camera face login isn't supported. Fingerprint scanner isn't working properly at login after sleep. Sound from internal audio is much worse than was on Windows. No app I know of can reliably share screen on Wayland.


Very true. Run FreeBSD and OpenBSD on Thinkpads at home and work and life's a peach...


If they brought back taller displays I’d be right there with you.


Another poster mentioned the Huawei Matebook Pro has a 3:2 screen. I'm now looking into getting one for that reason alone.


They are, next crop will be 16:10
