     @jarekrozanski @vwbusguy the amount that's charged does go to the Lenovo team that makes this support happen, as @sesivany mentioned. They do contribute with drivers and QA and their parts vendors to make sure Linux works well. Fedora and Ubuntu support on ThinkPads does not happen without this team, so we're grateful! :)

     @vwbusguy saw it just the other day. But why do they charge 30 euro for free operating system? It is fine if they are adding value, like drivers, etc.But are they?

     Heck yes! The new AMD #Ryzen #Lenovo #ThinkPad P series now supports #Fedora #Linux (and #Ubuntu) OEM and without the Windows tax!
