@chiamamialmort @mcc at least some of that is hardware support. The laptop is built for windows.

I don't understand the Firefox problems, tho. Probably can be configured differently.

@nicholas_saunders @chiamamialmort It's a fucking ThinkPad! It lists Ubuntu as a supported operating system on the manufacturer website! I literally bought it because it was the line people mostly said was good for running Linux

@mcc @nicholas_saunders @chiamamialmort It should be. AFAIK there is (was?) even a deal between Lenovo and RedHat to ensure that.
So IFF you want to invest in escalation, buy RedHat and then give RedHat (and indirectly Lenovo) hell until they fix their shit.

@Sweetshark @mcc @chiamamialmort

I just don't think that those features will be implemented anytime soon.

In this context, compatible means that it boots.

Not just sound, but Bluetooth on Linux sucks. It's awful. Not everything works. Not meaning to minimize your difficulties. Sorry if it sounds that way.

@mcc @nicholas_saunders @chiamamialmort I have a 3-month old ThinkPad i7 16GB non-touch screen running Debian and xfce4. No problems so far. I installed Homebrew and use it for a few things. Everything seems to work well for me. Sorry to hear about all your issues.
