I hear you. I did the switch from MacOS to Linux about ten years ago and currently, if an employer forces me out from Linux it's time to look for a new job.
What would be painful for me is to lose my i3 environment with the perfectly tuned keyboard setup, all configuration stored in a version control, including the system software through the declarative NixOS configuration.
Basically getting a new laptop for me is to boot from NixOS USB stick with my configuration, run the installer and boot to the familiar i3 desktop I've been using for years. All the software including the right configuration will be there. Nothing will change through a whimsy update that introduces some new UI feature that will break my workflow.
I also really like the ThinkPad hardware, especially the perfect keyboards.
