Fedora Magazine [1]announces that Lenovo will start offering three laptop models with Fedora Workstation preinstalled. " The Lenovo team has been working with folks at Red Hat who work on Fedora desktop technologies to make sure that the upcoming Fedora 32 Workstation is ready to go on their laptops. The best part about this is that we’re not bending our rules for them. Lenovo is following our existing trademark guidelines and respects our open source principles. That’s right—these laptops ship with software exclusively from the official Fedora repos! When they ship, you’ll see Fedora 32 Workstation. (Models which can benefit from the NVIDIA binary driver can install it in the normal way after the fact, by opting in to proprietary software sources.) "

The models are: ThinkPad P1 Gen2, ThinkPad P53, and ThinkPad X1 Gen8.
Barring any specific issues with manufacturing, they should be very solid, very nice high-end notebooks.

Heh. I don't think I would call a P53 a "notebook." Lenovo calls it a "mobile workstation" and that's about right. It ought to stay on a desk.
I would love to trade in my work T580 for a P53. A 15W CPU is not really the greatest thing for C++ development.

Very cool. Matthew Miller mentioned in that article's comments how Lenovo is working to get firmware support for the fingerprint reader up and running. Standard Fedora distribution too, no OEM stuff. Looking forward to seeing this shipped and in people's hands.
