Some notebook models are available from the factory with a Linux operating system. However, the range in this segment is not particularly wide. At least now it is expanding a bit, because the Fedora project is working with Lenovo to launch some models like Fedora Edition as part of the Lenovo Linux Community series.
These are ThinkPad P1 Gen2, ThinkPad P53, and ThinkPad X1 Gen8, which will ship with a pre-installed Fedora 32 workstation. Fedora is the direct successor to Red Hat Linux. According to Fedora, there is no need to make adjustments to the software or drivers. Notebooks and hardware obtain the software exclusively from the Fedora repositories.
Of course, Linux can also be installed on other laptops and used as the primary operating system. Fedora points out, however, that it is not always easy, especially regarding driver support, to configure everything and get it working. In return, Lenovo agrees to offer support and also to correct errors.
Mark Pearson, Senior Linux Developer at Lenovo: “Lenovo is excited to be part of the Fedora community. We want to ensure an optimal Linux experience in our products. We are committed to working and learning from the open source community.”
However, more details are still pending. Therefore, there is no information on the hardware configurations used. There will be a Fedora Council meeting in May, which will also feature the Lenovo Linux Community series.
