@sslaia so, if you want to purchase a laptop for Linux, you should avoid “AI PC” ?

To my knowledge Lenovo always did well with Linux. Good to hear it is now officially supported.
And definitely good news for every private user.

@sslaia scuse me, but why would bill gates give a fuck?

Great News

@pierre_bernard @sslaia It will probably run Linux just fine and if you want to use a *local* AI application under Linux, that application can benefit from the additional NPU that is present besides the regular CPU and GPU in "AI PCs".

It's partly also a Microsoft-related marketing term. See this article: https://www.tomshardware.com/laptops/what-is-an-ai-pc

@sslaia well back in the mists of time thinkpads shipped with OS/2 and were downgraded to W95 on customer insistence. I’d pick a Lenovo now because of Linux though @justdude

justdude@mastodon.nl

@humanhorseshoes @sslaia fully agree…

elbeetoots@mastodon.nl

@sslaia The video preview is... AI-generated. Also, Bill Gates is long gone as CEO so he probably doesn't give a flying copulation about Lenovo (and Dell!) giving the option of installing Linux instead of Windows.

He has other problems too, because he's mentioned in the Epstein Files rather often.

@sslaia Excellent! I've been running Zorin on my primary Lenovo laptop for several years, and have never had an issue!

humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world

@justdude @sslaia I had Windows 11 on an old computer and it was constantly breaking so I didn’t even back it up and deleted it and MacOS and after a lot of messing about have a lovely Fedora 43 system

@Netraven @sslaia That clickbait video title is ridiculous. Lenovo has been selling computers with Ubuntu preinstalled for several years.

@sslaia Good on them. No more paying the Microsoft tax - where you have to pay for a Windows license even though the first thing you'll do when you get home is format the hard drive.

It's a nice statement lol

spiny@mastodon.social

@sslaia shitty clickbait. why would bill gates give a fuck what Lenovo do?

drdusty@mastodon.social

@sslaia ... Long overdue. Kudos to Lenovo and others supporting Open Source alternatives.

lunr@mastodon.social

@FizzyDaisies @Netraven @sslaia Right?! I have two Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 8’s in my office right now that could have been ordered with Fedora preinstalled back in 2020.

solitha@mastodon.social

@sslaia Seems to be completely false. I'm looking at the Lenovo site, and you can't even search for any OS except Windows or NVIDIA DGX.

The offerings are full of Copilot+ PCs.
