Thinkpads (well, the X and T series, not the consumer stuff) are well supported in Linux as well. They generally come with Intel chipset wireless cards, though there are exceptions. My standard Thinkpad software image for workstations is XUbuntu based. If you tried a Linux GUI and hated gnome or KDE, try XFCE4.
