I think what's cool is that there now at least 3 different supported ways to run Linux on laptops today:
1. Directly run your traditional Linux distro (i.e. on these Lenovos, System76 laptops, etc).
2. Run WSL using Windows on a Windows laptop.
3. Run Crostini Linux VM on a Chromebook.
In the past, the Linux laptop options were largely limited to those who wanted to install it unsupported on devices (remember the campaigns to get refunds for the default Windows installations on laptops?).
And sure, the above listed supported commercial solutions don't embody the hacker ethos of the old Linux-on-laptop communities, but they do represent the growth of Linux as a broadly usable software development environment.
