I'm typing this on a Lenovo x230, having owned an x210 and x220. However, when such a statement above is made I was hoping that, like Dell, Lenovo had started to officially support Linux. Hence the question. Furthermore, Lenovo has been in the news late 2016 for not allowing Linux to run on some of their (Microsoft certified) laptops. And when the t460's and x260's came out early 2016, the Linux distros available at the time had all kinds of issues. Black screens, no Wifi, iirc. So, again: is there any article that actually point to this laptop running Linux well? Or is it merely based on historical data and personal opinion?

As far as I'm aware laptops of new generations practically never ran Linux well out of the box from day one. It always took some time to adjust stuff to the new chips of a new generation. Only after some time you can just stick Linux into it and it'll just all work.

  I bought my T440s pretty much on day one and didn't know this. If I recall correctly the following Ubuntu release almost half a year later was the first time I managed to get a system where both the 3G and wifi worked.
