E2: Embrace, extend (its lifecycle)

I had to install Steam through the command line […] Steam is available in Linux Mint’s default repository, so I could get it with a quick “sudo apt-get install steam” in the terminal.

I’ve never used Mint before; does it not come with a graphical app store?

And man, I love how so many articles from major websites mentioning Windows 11 are actually about how to avoid it altogether. :D

It’s great to see such an article in The Verge, of course. Unreservedly.

But such articles are legion, and Thinkpads are (almost) always good with Linux. But you can install it on almost any laptop out there.
