according to foreign media reports, Lenovo issued a Wednesday statement confirmed that Yoga 900, 900S deformation could not run the Linux system, only support Windows 10.
Prior to this, several social news forums Reddit users on the Linux board page, said Yoga 900 devices may not support Linux. This problem also appears in the Lenovo website discussion area.
Lenovo responded by saying: "The Yoga 900/900s uses a special 360-degree hinge design designed to give full play to the touch function of Windows 10." The yoga design requires very special, complex, and unique drivers to ensure the first-class performance of Windows 10 and require a lot of testing. In order to best support yoga products and 360-degree hinge design, we use a storage controller mode. Unfortunately, Linux does not support this pattern. As a result, they cannot install Linux systems. ”
Although Linux has long been seen as a Windows replacement system for desktops and servers, Microsoft has been in a bad place with the Linux Foundation, but Microsoft has been trying to do well with Linux lately. Microsoft, for example, announced in April this year that it would open PowerShell tools and support Linux. However, in Lenovo Yoga 900 does not support Linux this matter, the statement is Lenovo, not Microsoft.
