It feels wrong to buy a Linux laptop from the company that makes Github?

The Microsoft of the 2020s is a very different company from the Microsoft of the 1990s.

that bought Github, and don't worry, Github is going to morph into yet another Microsoft entity in the next 5 years and everybody will move somewhere else...

Microsoft is actively dismantling Azure DevOps and is moving all of their talent into Github.

It is, but in a discussion about forced updates and overtly user-hostile changes, I'll take the Microsoft of the 1990s please.

They even use Git (that's made for developing Linux kernel) for developing Windows!
