Has anyone try FSF approved distribution on Thinkpad? Like Parabola or Pure.

I saw a t60 I want to buy. The wifi card probably wont work with FSF since it has probably proprietary driver. So, only ethernet, which is ok with me since my laptop is home bound.

You can flash Zender BIOS to remove the WiFi whitelist. This allows you to install any WiFi card, including ones that are FSF-approved. That said, that limits you to WiFi N at the latest.
