Dell and Lenovo both sell Chromebooks, which technically run a variant of Linux. Those laptops are especially popular in schools.
It’s smart investment on their part and broadens their options longer term.
All in all a net positive on all fronts.

They also sell laptops and desktops, mostly workstation-class, with Linux preinstalled. I’ve always had great results with fwupd on Lenovo laptops, great to see them sponsoring something useful.

My Thinkpad from 2017 keep getting firmware updates through lvfs for like 7 or 8 years. I was pretty impressed actually.

Plus dell sells a decent amount of servers, the majority of which likely are Linux provisioned. Not sure about Lenovo’s server market share though
