Lenovo expands Linux's reach across a wider audience.
Go Linux fans rejoice, Billy G and his outdated system are facing challenges now. Check out the latest updates on Ars Technica.
Lenovo was experimenting with Fedora previously, and now they're expanding to Ubuntu as well. Fascinating.
It’s unlikely this will hold up much time. Usually, laptops running Ubuntu don’t sell well compared to Windows models because most people aren’t familiar with the OS. Those who are interested probably already know how to set up another operating system on their device.
It highlights how you can install everything needed for Linux on that model. There are drivers available, and this approach has been used before. The main advantage of Linux versions is their lower cost compared to Windows, making them appealing to those who already own Windows keys but might not want to commit to Linux long-term.
It seems the majority of people are gradually shifting toward Linux instead of Windows. The change happens slowly, much like a tree growing over time. As technology becomes more integrated into everyday life, individuals are naturally beginning to explore operating systems beyond traditional choices.
I don't find it too surprising. Since Fedora only offers open source software through its repositories, it's not very attractive for many users. In contrast, Ubuntu will provide whatever is popular at the moment.
Lenovo stands out among competitors. A significant number of users purchase Lenovo machines just to use Linux, and offering this choice doesn’t incur any real cost if they don’t sell them.
I’m not familiar with fedora much, but I recall redhat was quite different from many other Linux distributions for a time, and fedora is often thought of as a kind of hat. This article caught my attention because I remember someone asking about Ubuntu on a laptop, and the only reference they had was Lenovo fedora machines.
The area where Linux is gaining market share is mainly in embedded systems. Right now, most devices with chips use Linux unless they’re traditional PCs, gaming consoles, or iPhones.
