that's easy, they don't spend money on developing drivers for Linux.

Every OS they support costs money in developer time. It's a commercial trade-off what Operating Systems to support.

Put it this way, do you see lenovo or Dell or HP developing drivers for OpenBSD? there's no commercial ROI on that, so they don't

In this case it would appear that Lenovo don't think there's a commercial reason to help out with Linux drivers.

timed comments seem to increase with thread depth. Apologies if you think things are circular, I've just been responding where people replied to me with points that I felt warranted a response, which seemed like a reasonable thing to do in a discussion thread.
