As far as spyware, with win11 being what it is your options are install Linux or live with it no matter which manufacturer you go with.
I wasn't aware that there were other options outside of Linux.
Learn something new everyday 🤣 /s
I will say, at the time the X1 was probably the most stable laptop/Linux combo I had available. then several Intel vulnerabilities happened, were patched, and performance took a shit.
that's when I bought my first XPS and haven't looked back until now. since they're dropping the line I'll have to look for a new product in the future.
