Is anyone running CentOS on a newish Thinkpad?
I have been using Linux as my primary workstation since about 97 and it seems like using Linux as a desktop has slipped over the years. After the Gnome desktop dumb-down, I have been nursing CentOS 6.8 on a 5 yo Toshiba. So I was hoping that someone has some recent real-world experience with new Thinkpads.
So is anyone running a new Thinkpad? What model? Any problems with wireless or suspend or the touchpad?
It seems optical drives are gone. Do I boot the iso from USB or what's the procedure now?
Generally seeking new laptop advice. If Lenovo is not good is anyone using Toshiba?

I have been using Thinkpads for Linux for years. X200 (currently running C7) X220 (was Fedora, now W10) X240 (currently Fedora 24) X260 to be purchased shortly to take over the Fedora role
No problems, in fact I suspect that there must be Fedora developers using Thinkpads since they seem to just work
HTH
