About four months ago, Lenovo shocked the Linux community by announcing that they FINALLY plan to offer Linux laptops, choosing the Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Linux as default operating system. The first Lenovo laptops to ship with Linux are supposed to be the ThinkPad P1 Gen2, ThinkPad P53, and ThinkPad X1 Gen8. Well, the good news I want to share with you today is that the first big step was made and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen8 laptop is now available for sale with Fedora Linux pre-installed.
