Lenovo has expanded its range of Ubuntu certified devices to announce 30 Linux-Ready ThinkPad and ThinkStation PCs preinstalled with Ubuntu.

Previously only accessible to enterprises via a customized bid, a comprehensive range of nearly 30 Ubuntu-loaded devices will now be available for purchase via Lenovo.com.

The global expansion of the company’s Linux portfolio include 13 ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series Workstations and an additional 14 ThinkPad T, X, X1 and L series laptops, all with the 20.04 LTS version of Ubuntu. The L series, however, is an exception which will have version 18.04.

These devices will be available globally starting September 2020 and rolling out in phases through 2021.

With this expansion comes increased accessibility to open source apps, libraries and tools to enhance developers’ productivity.

By providing these devices preloaded with the OEM version of Ubuntu, Lenovo is removing complexity for Linux users and introducing end-to-end web and phone support for platform-related Linux issues.
