every linux user is wrong about thinkpads...
Everyone says the best way to run Linux is on a ThinkPad, but is that actually true? In this video, I install Ubuntu on a ThinkPad T470 and put it to the test, from everyday tasks to Docker containers and even running local AI models. While the classic ThinkPad design, upgradeability, and Linux compatibility still shine, real-world performance tells a more nuanced story.
0:00 – Is the ThinkPad really the ultimate Linux laptop?
0:18 – Why the ThinkPad T-Series (and T470)
0:49 – Key features: battery, durability & classic design
1:42 – Upgradeability: hot-swappable battery & RAM
2:14 – Ports & limitations (no Windows 11)
2:43 – Installing Ubuntu + setup walkthrough
3:33 – Real-world performance test (apps, Docker, AI models)
7:25 – Final verdict: is it actually worth it?
