For some reason, people on HN praise Lenovo for Linux compatibility, but in my experience it is quite a bad experience. Yet, every time I bring up this subject, there is someone commenting about how their T430 runs just fine on Linux. Newsflash: the T-series is a 20(!) year old laptop, build by IBM.
Nowadays, the whole 'Linux compatible' thing with Lenovo seems like a marketing afterthought. My X1E is now a couple years old, and yet nobody at Lenovo bothered to provide any fixes for basic stuff like the ACPI driver.
