If you're looking for a reasonable FOSS swipe keyboard, try AnySoftKeyboard. While still a step below the non FOSS keyboards I've used before like Swiftkey, it gets the job done reasonably well

I bought my ThinkPad a fair bit before yours, but I can't imagine replacing my T450s either. The dual batteries, TrackPoint, and sheer number of ports is something most modern laptops just don't include. Ten years old and still running beautifully thanks to Linux (Fedora 41 Gnome).
