There are plenty of enterprises that run linux in server farms as well as workstations. You have to remember that Lenovo has plenty of experience with linux this way. They have official ISOs and their metapackages are delivered with distro installers.
Lenovo, Dell et al gets their devices certified with Canonical and Red Hat. OEMs usually work really closely with them.

- gcr 4y agoArch wiki claims the laptop mentioned in this article supports the fingerprint reader out of the box with `fprintd`. You do have to be careful about purchasing the variant with the proper webcam (e.g. don't go for the 2.8k OLED model), because only one of the two variants works. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_(Gen_10) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_(...
