From my experience, this statement is far from true. I have both X1 Carbon (no NVIDIA) and a T460p (with NVIDIA) running Ubuntu 16.04, and some of my colleagues have X1's running Fedora. There are various issues such as the laptop freezing when plugging in an external monitor (this can be fixed through a kernel update), crashes when waking from suspend / lock, Trackpad issues, problems with Bluetooth, problems with supporting 4k monitors through MiniDP, ... So I'd say the stability of Linux on the new Skylake Thinkpads is far from optimal, although most of the hardware seems to be supported and runs.

it is because Intel borked skylake. Even windows users have issues.

  How exactly did they "bork" Skylake? I haven't head anything about this

    Something is wrong with the drivers for it. There's a long running "sleep of death" issue with Surface Pro 4s, for example, because of this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/4nu355/finally_fixed_sleep_of_death/d476ojc?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/4nu355/finally_fix...

  Yeah Skylake has LOTS of issues. External 4k screen with SKL keeps crashing, works fine with anything else.
