This post got me wondering what IBM is doing these days. Their hardware was always good and well documented. I bought a couple of 'obsolete servers' and converting them into workstations . They ran Xeon chips and the documentation was excellent. The servers didn't have sound but usb soundcards solved that for a few bucks 
They are now happy in landfill as recycled obsolete servers.
IBM have either partnered with RedHat or they own it not sure which?
I know the ThinkPads were sold and rebranded 'Lenovo'. Probably still a product. 'Big Blue' is pushing AI like everybody else these days.
Do people remember how fast the 'Google' page was to load compared with how slow it is now? I put that down to AI.
When you click the Google page now it does a scan of your entire life to preempt what question you are going to ask
