Yeah, if I could install Linux without any hacks I will get one.
Even if I prefer the body of a X1 Carbon ThinkPad, its keyboard and trackpoint.

There's actually a number of Thinkpads that can. Searching "thinkpad macos efi" will reveal a number of OpenCore configurations that support booting into the various x86 builds of macOS. I set it up once and was surprised to see that even my touchscreen worked, in addition to a HW accelerated desktop.
I do have a mint x230 I7, might throw Tahoe on it for fun.
I am getting about half the performance (if you combine CPU and GPU) for the same price with X1 Carbon. It's true X1 is lighter, arguably has a better keyboard (although that's a judgement call) and has a trackpoint. At this point though Apple wins on both performance and price overall.
