Fedora vendor supported on future Lenovo laptops

Probably more people saw this. I guess this means that future Lenovo
laptops will be better compatible with Qubes if dom0 remains to be Fedora?

Fedora and Lenovo!

We’ve been teasing this for a while, but today it’s finally trueFedora
Workstation is now available preinstalled on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1
Carbon Gen 8, ThinkPad P53, and ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 laptops. The ThinkPad
X1 Carbon is available today for direct consumer purchase from Lenovo’s
online store. The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 and ThinkPad P53 will be
available next week via the “Contact Us” icon on Lenovo.com. What’s
more, the successor models are in the works for pre-load and online
ordering as well!

Lenovo has been a great partner in bringing this to market. Like the
Fedora community, they are operating on an “upstream first” model.
That’s part of why the only thing you’ll see on the laptop that doesn’t
come from an official Fedora repository is a set of PDFs providing
documentation and legal notices. Lenovo engineers have been contributing
to the Linux kernel, including a patch to enable the “lap mode” sensor,
which is already accepted. They have also worked with their vendors to
improve Linux support in devices like the fingerprint scanner.

Of course, you already know that open source is about more than just the
technology; the community is what makes it great. Lenovo is a member of
Fedora and other communities. In addition to participating in the usual
Fedora places (like the devel mailing list), they also were a gold-level
sponsor of our Nest With Fedora conference. And they have a dedicated
Fedora section on their community forum. Mark Pearson, Senior Linux
Developer said “doing open source the right way is important to us” at
his Nest With Fedora Q&A session.

This will be a global program, but it will take some time to roll out
country-by-country. If it doesn’t appear on the website in your country,
call the local sales number for your country to place a phone order. I’m
excited to have Lenovo offer Fedora Workstation as a supported choice on
their laptops. This is a great opportunity to grow our community.
