With Lenovo it could be either. Thinkpads have historically worked pretty well with Linux. The more consumer oriented stuff can be hit or miss. Generally the more newfangled features (dual screens, detachability, extra eink displays, etc.), the worse the support. Thinkpads also tend to last longer, so there’s more time for driver support to catch up before they’re broken or obsolete.
"It could be either." This isn't a fact. It's not written down anywhere that anybody can look up. It is essentially lore, rumor, hearsay. That is not a firm foundation for building confidence in a platform.
