Lenovo has Linux fails too. This list is on part a blatant lie.
Example: Lenovo ships some Thinkpads with a Fibocom LTE modem. But only Windows has PCIe drivers, Linux needs to use the USB interface. Not a problem one would think, but if you switch the modem to USB mode, the notebook will not boot. Lenovo still uses a whitelist for allowed devices and they forgot to add the USB mode for the modem.
