MODERATORS
Lenovo has a solid track record of the Linux community getting things working if at all possible. A lot of us like Lenovo laptops.
That said, there's new options where the manufacturer actually actively intentionally supports Linux. The two I am most aware of are System76 and FrameWork.
Framework has an extra price premium because the parts are all replaceable. So probably cheaper in the long run, but more cost upfront.
The feedback I've seen on System76 gives me the impression that the System76 team set out to replace their own Lenovo laptops with something that doesn't need the constant Linux support checks for each hardware generation.
