>TB3 dock never works properly Do these even work on Windows?
My Lenovo 40AN workstation dock has worked very reliably under Windows.

Yeah, I just realized it's called fractional scaling too, my bad. It is still important though, because on 14inch desktops the Ubuntu interface looks way too small on 100% scale and way too big on 200%. At the end of the day you can think of fractional scaling as giving yourself more screen real-estate while at the same time keeping everything in a readable state.
I don't understand what you mean by the interface. Is it the font size? You can change it independently of everything else.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
In the context of running Linux, I suspect the parent was alluding to that nvidia only provide binary blob drivers rather than open drivers.
Plus Nvidia drivers are the least likely to support Wayland in the near future.
I own an 4K X1-extreme, which is basically the P1 without the Quadro card and Xeon/ECC option. I run Ubuntu 19.04 on it and have so many problems. - Grub has ridiculous performance issues on 4K screens, it renders at less than 1 fps, making it a real pain to do anything in it. - You can't update the bios through Linux, the update tool is windows only. - The Lenovo TB3 dock never works properly. - The dual GPU situati…
Most of these pain points go away if you purchase the iGPU only version. I own a Thinkpad T470 and Ubuntu works like a charm. The only issue I still have is that the Gnome interface (Ubuntu 17.04+) does not support factorial scaling, meaning that I am stuck between 100% (which is way to small on a 14 inch screen) and 200% (which is way too big). Ubuntu 16.10 still supports factorial scaling though, which means I am s…
The article does not seem to be true. I want to buy one right now, but the only OS that are offered for each P model are different versions of windows.

It doesn't say "right now"

That comment refers to JingWang not the OS. If you were an individual forced to install it you are added to a registry. If you live in a particular city, it is mandatory. If you are part of a particular minority, it is mandatory. Refusing to install it or prove its installation if your national identity is in the registry is a crime and you wil be arrested. Beijing is not Kashgar. Many Chinese will experience relativ…
This article and thread is about pre-installed Linux on some recently announced laptops. Could you please stop trying to politicize everything in every possible way?

It's just a Linux distro. Anyone can make one.
Yes, but even though I myself have created my own Linux distro, I would absolutely not be able to do that with restricted internet access, without access to the guide-books, and without the help of IRC. I suspect this would be the case for most of my developer friends as well.

As far as I know, Ubuntu has even better NVIDIA support than Fedora so you should be good
You may need to install proprietary drivers though
Also I get really, really good battery life in Linux, I think it's accomplished with sudo powertop --auto or similar
