I'm not fan of Apple's control freakness either. And I don't like that Dell
(and the others, I believe) are following in their footsteps. I think the
object is an attempt to force a new computer on you every four years, or so.

Even though I can afford to buy one every four years, I don't want to. I
only let go of my computers when it is absolutely necessary to do so. In
fact, I know I would have made good use of the MSI I've had since 2015
had I not just given it away.

 
 
I'm pretty attached to my computers too, I've only owned about 4 in my
life:
MacAir 2010 (family computer)
Thinkpad T410
Thinkpad T430
Thinkpad T580 (my current laptop)

I've heard that Thinkpads run Linux well, but I gave away the only one I
owned — I think it was actually an Ideapad (lower end). I didn't like that
the left Control key was in the "wrong" place. Otherwise I think it worked
well with Linux. If I remember right, Thinkpads have a white list
limitation, dictating what hardware will work in them and what won't. Dell
doesn't have those limitations. (I may be wrong, it might be another
brand other than Thinkpad that I'm thinking about.)
