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.

The difference is that they experience fatigue for most people 100x less frequently, so they'll last 100x longer
my point is whether it is fatigued or it stopped working as a result of a large enough electrical impedance. You would have replaced the motherboard either way because of 10 other motherboard/component failures. in which case, buy a new laptop.
thinkpads are rapidly depreciative. They approximately depreciate linearly compared to a theoretically and practically non-depreciative product. The longer they are used (or just held in stock), the cheaper they become. I've found used thinkpads that are worth the same amount for same spec'd framework motherboards. until integrated circuits become cheaper your just purchasing a more expensive thinkpad that's easier to understand for the user.
