Yes, but things like that take time. So yeah: Six months after the device is released there will probably be fantastic Linux support. Until then it'll be hit or miss from an "annoying fucking bugs" and "where'd my battery life go?" perspective.

This is why it's always better when a device manufacturer supports Linux right out of the gate. Not only does that give the device vastly more capabilities it also helps Windows by ensuring that the hardware doesn't require all sorts of wacky ACPI workarounds and custom software be developed in order to do things like check the temperature or battery capacity (things that Lenovo has made absurdly proprietary in the past).
