Lenovo P1/X1Extreme “official” support?
Lenovo claims that they have received Canonical's Ubuntu certification (whatever that means) for the P1 and the X1 Extreme Thinkpads.
Is there some secret location to get the right installation media from? Linux was not listed as an option when I bought the device last month, and it was only later that I found about this official support. I don't mind paying for them, it will be noise compared to what the laptop cost!
I had a terrible time installing 18.04LTS on my new P1 (the solution was to first install 16.04 and then upgrade; found this on someone's web page). Some things are still not working right, and I really don't want to run Windows!
