You're the one that made the claim that they're the "only mainstream brand that cares about Linux". It's up to you to prove it.

You sure about that?. Where does this myth come from that Lenovo cares about Linux users?

[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

are they just kissing Microsoft's ass?

This. 100%. It's why I don't understand folks recommending Lenovo laptops to run Linux on. Lenovo is in bed well Microsoft and caters to whatever they want. SecureBoot, modern standby, etc. We need more vendors supporting open source firmware like Coreboot.

Edit: feel free to refute me instead of just down voting.

Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It's also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I'm curious what other people are using these days. What's your favorite player?

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always "Get a Thinkpad" yet Lenovo doesn't seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There's also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:

So what gives? Why the love for a primarily Windows-oriented laptop when there are better alternatives?
