This surprised me on swapping hard drive.

I had at some point a while back took a look at Fedora 38 Kinoite. I installed in on the Thinkpad T580 played a bit, then returned the Endless harddrive to the T580. I have still been trying to find a nice Linux for the 2010 MPB and I put the harddrive from the T580 into the MBP. It booted into Fedora Kinoite, even though Kinoite had been installed on the T580.
There laptops are seperated by 10 years and 9 generaltions of intel hardware, not to mention they have different network and graphics cards. I thought that a Linux install only installed drivers and such for the specific hardware it was being installed on. I had not clue that the install included about everything and a hard drive with Linux installed could be moved from machine to machine.
