Reminder that Thinkpad's makers, Lenovo, has shipped a laptop preloaded with the Superfish malware (https://easytechsolver.com/what-is-the-lenovo-controversy/)

This is true. However, Superfish hasn’t been relevant in years and Lenovo walked back on including such malware going forward as far as I can tell.

And furthermore, Superfish didn’t affect ThinkPads. Only lower end Lenovo models.

And surely didn't affect Linux installed on it, which is the topic of the thread.
