From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Officially? Got a link?
At least to my understanding. My model is the T14 Gen 1 (AMD). But I would recommend checking newer models.
A few points that indicates this:
It's possible to order it with linux preinstalled:
Ubuntu 20.04 certification: https://ubuntu.com/certified/202006-27980
RHEL 8.3 certification: https://catalog.redhat.com/hardware/detail/71625
There's a "Linux Certification" page (whatever that means): https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/solutions/pd500492
The BIOS software comes with linux instructions. Though I just use whatever is available with fwupd, which is a CLI application but has GUI support through Gnome with gnome-firmware.
More info about linux support here, under "Notebooks and Laptops": www.lenovo.com/linux
A million edits later: I got confused by what the product ID was but I think I finally figured it out.
