Lenovo decided only to support linux? What?

Ah i see now, "to only support windows" *

Ah okay. Some lenovo devices are good with linux. Interesting.

The drivers for the proprietary hardware are all windows only. And, A LOT of the drivers this machine needs are proprietary. It has a fancy camera with good res and some IR...thing on it, but it only works in 480p resolution because 1. It doesn't use a normal free driver and 2. The driver Lenovo made for it to work is only available on Windows as an exe, and I'm really not knowledgeable enough to try to get it to work on a work machine... If you know what I can do please educate me but I'm not willing to guess and then have to pay for the thing... If you want details it's the ThinkBook G6 17 IML.

I have a lenovo machine and it works like a charm with Linux (I think) i assumed they were linux friendly. Maybe not.

I think it depends on the model. I know for example 2017 ThinkPads are excellent with windows, but the new ThinkBooks are seemingly windows-only...
