Either work just fine, it really doesn't matter much wrt GTK, and I know people happily working with both. Just note that ThinkPad has several lines of laptops (X series, T series, L series, E series, W series…) and they are not equivalent. I know people happy with some X and T series, no idea about the other ones. > Fedora vs osx vs ubuntu ? Unless you want to target OSX, I'd recommend a GNU/Linux OS because GTK is primarily targeting GNU/Linux, so it's your best bet if you want things to "just work". However, if you're targeting OSX for your apps, I'd obviously recommend at least having a machine to test there, if it's not your primary environment. Apart from that, I don't think the distro matters much. Using widespread ones like Fedora or Ubuntu is probably a good idea if you want your environment to be as close as the users', but apart from that you should be fine with whatever you pick. I myself use Debian (stable and unstable), but many dev are on Fedora and Ubuntu. My choice is based on my OS preference and because I'm used to it, but either of those is a good choice, probably just as openSUSE, Mint, Arch, Gentoo or whichever has your preference. The only point I'd check is which version of GTK the distribution ships with: you might either want something very recent for latest features, or something more conservative to be able to easily target older versions shipped with more conservative distros. If you really don't know and just want the most obvious choice, I'd say Fedora (even though it's not my personal favorite), because it's probably the most up-to-date/stock/GNOME distro, and possibly the one most GTK authors use themselves. But again, that's mostly a personal or target choice you can make and that won't change that much. I'd rather say, pick whichever distro you're most efficient with.
