what is it about thinkpads that has made them so popular?

@lyncia they used to have ridiculously good build quality and they're dirt cheap second hand because business buy them and then sell them as a lot when they upgrade

@0x4d6165 @lyncia also they had amazing linux support back in 2000s-2010s when it still was a huge headache with many other laptops

Nerds liked them and wrote modules for them that allowed to run linux of high quality, and that made nerds to like them :3
