I miss the M-series silicon, but plain old Ubuntu runs like a charm on Thinkpads. I much prefer the Ubuntu UX and native Linux environment.

Battery life is slightly worse, driver support is perfect - every peripheral I've tried is perfect, performance and security are top-notch.

My two complaints are battery life and compiling Rust code taking a bit longer. But everything else is better on Thinkpad.

I use a Thinkpad and MacBook Pro interchangeably.

Note: I use an X1 Carbon, so that's more like a MacBook Air. They're not 1:1 and my complaints are partly due to my choice.
