One of the great Linux hardware milestones of 2020 was Lenovo beginning to offer Linux pre-loads on their desktops/laptops with the likes of Fedora and Ubuntu. But it's been great just not for having another major OEM offering Linux pre-loads but because they have also been engaging directly on Linux support improvements both through their engineers and at partners like Red Hat. That upstream support work has continued nicely.
Granted, Dell has also been engaged in upstream Linux support improvements for years, but it's nice seeing another tier-one engaging directly on Linux improvements not only for the big ticket features but also down to finer items like seeing working motherboard sensors support -- especially with desktop motherboard sensor support being notoriously poor under Linux.
