Did Lenovo switch from Windows to Linux as it's default operation system?
ChatGPT - Short answer: No — Lenovo has not broadly switched its default operating system from Windows to Linux. Most Lenovo consumer and business laptops and desktops are still sold with Windows as the default.
What is happening instead
- Lenovo has been expanding official Linux support. They now offer a growing number of models available with Linux preinstalled (typically Ubuntu or Fedora) or certified to run certain Linux distributions.
- This is most common on ThinkPad “developer” or business lines and some workstation/enthusiast models. It’s part of partnerships and certification programs with Canonical (Ubuntu), Red Hat, and other Linux vendors.
- Availability varies by model and region; Linux-preinstalled models are a select subset rather than a full product-line switch.
How to tell if a particular Lenovo model ships with Linux
- Check the Lenovo product page/spec sheet — they’ll state “Preloaded OS: Ubuntu/Fedora/Linux” if it ships that way.
- Look for official certification pages (Canonical’s Ubuntu certified hardware list, Red Hat Certified Hardware, etc.).
- Third-party retailers sometimes list “with Ubuntu” or “with Linux” SKUs.
If you have a specific Lenovo model in mind, tell me the model number and I can check whether Lenovo offers it with Linux preinstalled or if it’s certified for a particular distro.
