Guix goes on the Thinkpad.
The graphical (TUI) install process is clear and concise. If you don't like the suggested disk partitioning scheme its straightforward to customize. I didn't feel the need to switch to a console to do a manual install.
Disk layout is a small ESP partition, with the rest going to a LUKS encrypted root partition. Kernel 'linux-libre' supports the Intel ethernet without binary blobs, and I've ordered a AR9271 USB wifi adapter to keep things libre.
Onward!
