Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: https://news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-windows-tax/

@fedora @ubuntu Fun fact: if you have a Legion notebook and you want to update your BIOS the only thing you get from Lenovo is a .exe file 😂 I think it's the same for ThinkPads. OK, if you know how, you can do it anyways, but it could be more user friendly just offering a .bin file or something.

@r3vilo @fedora @ubuntu In my experience with my T14 at least, the UEFI updates are shipped through fwupd and can be applied entirely from Linux. It’s actually the easiest device for firmware updates I own.

@NinjaCheetah @fedora @ubuntu For me not. fwupd is working but there are only a few components and not the BIOS.
