I just read on an “official” Lenovo website news of Linux support for certain Lenovo computers, as stated by Rob Herman, General Manager, Executive Director Workstation & Client AI Group, dated 2 June 2020.
It is still commendable of Lenovo for their efforts to make their devices more Linux friendly. Most of the time Windows will be highlighted and Linux version won’t get the prime focus. I don’t know if Lenovo offering Linux on its systems will help increase the Linux user base. There is one more option in the list of Linux preloaded computers now. I am happy to see Lenovo doing the extra effort to improve Linux compatibility on its end. This is the only device that has required pretty much no hardware troubleshoot from my end even when I have installed Ubuntu-based distributions manually. I have a Dell XPS laptop that came with Ubuntu preinstalled. It lets you focus on the important tasks that you are supposed to do on your system rather than troubleshooting. Will it help increase the Linux user base? Lenovo is also going to upstream device drivers directly to the Linux kernel, to help maintain stability and compatibility throughout the life of the workstation. This should mean that the Ubuntu-based distributions like Linux Mint, elementary OS etc also better hardware compatibility with Lenovo devices. Most of the time, these distributions differ in looks, applications and other graphical stuff, but they use the same base as Ubuntu. There are so many Linux distributions based on Ubuntu LTS release.
Fedora is a community project from Red Hat and Lenovo is going to offer Fedora preloaded on ThinkPad P53 and P1 Gen 2 systems. Lenovo will even offer the choice of Ubuntu and Red Hat preinstalled on its systems.īut it just doesn’t end here.
This means that Lenovo system would work the best with Ubuntu LTS versions and Red Hat Linux. Red Hat is a popular choice for Linux desktop and servers in enterprises. Lenovo has chosen two of the top Linux distributions for this purpose.
