I think you have a misconception there. Lenovo is not (and never was) IBM. Lenovo previously made laptops and desktops for IBM under contract, and in 2005 bought out that business. (In 2014, they bought the Intel-based server business too.)
Gee man, what is wrong with you? I really have to spell it out for you - tech support case reported to Lenovo with the subject being, yes a laptop, was acted upon by and replied from IBM (here in UK, perhaps the rest of the Europe), thus lease stop lecturing about how it was, history lessons not required.
Additionally, while IBM owns Red Hat, it's operated as a separate business. So there really are no direct connections. (Basically, IBM doesn't come into it at all.) Additionally, Red Hat does not support Fedora-based systems; the support you get is community based.
and the eagerness to be their public defense, gee.. are you on a payroll of any these entities? If yes then I get it, fair enough, but if not then what would you bother... (rhetorical)
Do anybody think that if I was to ask my friend or do it myself and talk to Lenovo but replace "Ubuntu" with "Fedora" their repose would be entirely different or.... different at all? I might give a try I think.
Well, again, it depends who you are talking to and what the system in question is. If it's a laptop that was bought with Fedora Linux on it and you got that response, like I said, let me know and I'll raise that as an alarm. I do think that they should at least have said that they only support certain models and configurations ... but, also, it's a big company and I wouldn't be shocked to learn that not every front-line tech in the world has the messaging right.
Thanks for the offer but you should not be bothered. Moreover, it never crossed my mind that me sharing my experience and expressing my opinion would be taken as a call for help. Again, I thank you but it's between Lenovo(others officially involved) and the rest of us regular customers.
