Today I sold a ThinkPad T560 laptop to someone who crossed state lines to get it (my storefront isn't that far from the border).
T560 was upgrade to 16GB memory (PC3L), a 256GB SATA SSD and had an Intel i5-6300U processor. It was in excellent condition.
Operating System was Linux Mint Debian Edition, which I pre-installed. He may install PopOS, as he's been using that for quite a while from a USB flash drive on another computer.

Two out of the three laptops I got back to customers yesterday had Linux on them. The majority. Not bad!
One sale (mentioned in another post) of a ThinkPad L15 laptop with Linux Mint Debian Edition.
The second laptop was a service where the customer had run out of storage space on a small SSD on an HP with Devuan Linux - I used CloneZilla to clone to a larger SSD and fixed a few other things.
The third laptop was a SSD replacement, fresh Windows 11 installation with data recovery and transfer.

I just got a refurbished ThinkPad L15 Gen 1 laptop out to a local customer.
He asked for Linux, so I recommended and pre-installed Linux Mint Debian Edition.
I should have taken a screenshot of the 'fetch' output on this laptop. Nice upgrades. Intel i7 (10th gen), upgraded to 32GB memory (two 16GB modules) and a new 1TB Crucial NVME SSD.

ThinkPad and Linux question:
Is the NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics in the ThinkPad P50 laptop useful at all with Linux?
Laptop has a pretty powerful i7 processor, but not officially supported by Windows 11 and the NVIDIA Quadro M1000M graphics has also been discontinued from support by nVidia (not sure what that means).
... so will it work okay with Linux ?
Only one way to find out, but thought I'd throw the question out here.
