I think you have a misconception there. Lenovo is not (and never was) IBM.
Lenovo previously made laptops and desktops for IBM under contract, and in
2005 bought out that business. (In 2014, they bought the Intel-based server
business too.)

Additionally, while IBM owns Red Hat, it's operated as a separate business.
So there really are no direct connections. (Basically, IBM doesn't come into
it at all.) Additionally, Red Hat does not support Fedora-based systems; the
support you get is community based.

Well, again, it depends who you are talking to and what the system in
question is. If it's a laptop that was bought with Fedora Linux on it and
you got that response, like I said, let me know and I'll raise that as an
alarm. I do think that they should at least have said that they only support
certain models and configurations ... but, also, it's a big company and I
wouldn't be shocked to learn that not every front-line tech in the world has
the messaging right.
