Lenovo FAQs: Lear What Is Linux and Why It's Popular

That's pretty a good description for the general audience. From what I remember, previously, most general vendors would hide their Linux laptop offerings and you'd find them by a special link only or had to search for them. Now going to https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/faqs/operating-systems the section is about equally divided between Linux and Windows questions. "How to install Kali Linux", "How to Install Linux on a Chromebook" etc.

It would be nice if they sold more blank or Linux machines without the Windows tax. They have a very small number of the latter.
