I’ve run Linux on the T410, T520, P50, P51, X1g2, X1g5, X1 Yoga, and p16s, all when those laptops were new. Sometimes the wifi was hard to configure, or the fingerprint scanner didn’t work, or the wwan card wasn’t supported, or the power states where fucky and drained the battery, but that was in it’s way all part of the fun.
It’s definitely gotten easier over time to run Linux on new hardware and I’ll pick a Thinkpad for the job every time. I use a modern Thinkpad with linux for work every day.
It’s technically up cycling but like, yikes. For the cost of a handle of Jim beam and a shit load of wax, you could probably just buy a bunch of candles instead, so the end goal here seems to be to showcase alcohol brands?! Is this like when people fill their house with Coke or Mickey Mouse stuff?
I suppose I’m just as confused as you are. It would make sense to me if they washed the labels off; some of the bottles are visually interesting enough to warrant making showpieces out of.
