#Microsoft has finally annoyed me enough with this #Copilot and #Recall bullshit to overcome my inertia around moving off #Windows on my daily-driver laptop (#Lenovo #Thinkpad T14s).
Biggest concern is support for my Lenovo Thinkpad Hybrid USB-C dock. I'm not using anything unusual with it - just monitor, custom keyboard, wireless mouse. But I definitely need that to work under whatever #OS I switch to!
My primary apps are Firefox, LibreOffice, PuTTY, and file explorer to access our NAS via SMB. Others include Audacity, Foxit, Notepad++ - all generally available on #Linux. So I'm leaning in that direction - #FreeBSD also seems appealing, but I worry about how much tweaking I'd have to do to get things working.
Any distro suggestions? Anyone successfully using Linux with a Thinkpad dock?
