Also consider sending email or a physical letter to Lenovo telling them
that unfortunately you will be purchasing from a competitor due to
their failure to at least recognize the Linux/FOSS market.

Really, from their point of view, why on earth should they bother
supporting Linux? It's such a small fraction of their market share, and
often Linux people will buy anyway, right? Help change their minds!
They'll only change if they think they're losing sales.
