I thought Thinkpads work perfectly with Linux. I bought a pretty new Laptop from HP and it worked fine out of the box. Only issues were the battery life, which I fixed by installing auto-cpufreq (seems to work better than tlp), the fingerprint scanner because it uses a proprietary system instead of doing it the standart way and it doesn’t detect when I turn around the display (it’s one of those you can use like a tablet) even though it does deactivate the keyboard when I do that. Everything else works perfectly fine.
