I think it depends on the model. I know for example 2017 ThinkPads are excellent with windows, but the new ThinkBooks are seemingly windows-only…
The drivers for the proprietary hardware are all windows only. And, A LOT of the drivers this machine needs are proprietary. It has a fancy camera with good res and some IR…thing on it, but it only works in 480p resolution and has heavy smearing because 1. It doesn’t use a normal free driver and 2. The driver Lenovo made for it to work is only available on Windows as an exe, and I’m really not knowledgeable enough to try to get it to work on a work machine… If you know what I can do please educate me but I’m not willing to guess and then have to pay for the thing… If you want details it’s the ThinkBook G6 17 IML. The camera thing is just an example.
Yea, but the issue is, Windows works because others don’t, like linux. Windows gets preferrential baby treatment from all consumer tech manufacturers… A perfect example is my laptop. I have ubuntu on it. NOTHING works right because Lenovo decided to only support Windows and my employer didn’t check and neither did they agree to invest some of my hours to investigate. Now I’m stuck with it. So i ask: is that Linux’s fault, or Lenovo’s, or whose is it?.. Either way it’s not Linux’s fault…
