Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
I've noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always "Get a Thinkpad" yet Lenovo doesn't seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There's also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:

You're viewing a single thread.
System76, Framework, Malibal and Purism are assembled or shipped out of the USA, which means they spy on users. So now you're down to two manufacturers.
While as a British person I'm naturally biased against the USA 🤣 not all US companies are bad and spy on their users come on this isn't China
No they all do, it's illegal not to. Were none of you paying attention to Snowden?
Since when should we trust the USA who are literally spying on everybody?
