From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been on this hunt lately as well, but because I want to believe there could be a suitable option for a Linux tablet ...
Regardless, for just a new thinkpad the X1 carbon has remained a solid choice for all around work-flows (research, student, development, business, etc.)

The Surface Pro is actually a really good option if you want a Linux tablet
Can confirm, love my SP8 which I got recently and promptly put Linux on it
The X1 Carbons are great ultralights. I've had 2 and both still running strong.
