Mostly because I had more important things to do at the time. Though not perfect, the computer does work, it does get the job done.
And also, I wouldn't know which other brand/model to get. I made my decision to buy the X1E based on the HN community recommending Lenovo as having one of the best support for Linux. So if I switch to a different brand, I might end up with an even worse Linux experience, so it wasn't worth the risk to me.

- nine_k 4y agoIt's not that everything branded Lenovo runs linux flawlessly. There are know models and model lines that do so (like the T line). Usually they were / are even offered in variants with Linux preinstalled from Lenovo web site. Other models may have and do have problems, unsupported hardware, etc.
