Damnit, I used plenty of moto G's for android development they were great mainly because you could actually buy unlike Nexus constant shortages. Lenovo like most Chinese corps not friendly to open source I imagine they will replace fastboot with some crippled proprietary junk, and be unfriendly to kernel mods
Really? Thinkpads are the most recommended laptops for running Linux. When I ordered mine, Lenovo even gave me a discount when I told them I didn't want Windows and wanted to run Linux.
They even have certified some of their products for Linux...
Most are squeezing all they can out of the MTK chipset and don't want their competition to know their mods. I'm betting they will flood US market with $80 MTK phones under the motorola brand
Right, sorry. It seems like all of Lenovo's current phones are MTKs. I could have sworn to see something higher end from them in ZCN, maybe it was another brand.
A lot of people are unhappy with the their latest laptop models, particularly the Thinkpads. Much of this centers around the physical design changes, but I seem to recall some observations regarding an increasing amount of struggle with UEFI and bootable images and such, as well.
In absolute terms, things may not yet be "awful", but there is a worrying trend, in many minds.
Yeah, now they do. Had the XPS 13 with 1080p screen and Ubuntu been available at the time I was in the market for a computer, I likely would have bought that.
I've heard that Michael Dell uses Ubuntu, I wouldn't be surprised if they offer more OS alternatives now that they're private...
