Does it? When I set up CentOS on a 2nd-generation X1 Carbon, the NIC wasn't supported and the keyboard didn't work after suspend. I think there were other problems as well, but those are the two that come immediately to mind.
I'm using a T430s to write this email, but this is almost certainly going to be my last Lenovo. My advice is: If you want a Linux laptop, look for someone who actually supports Linux on the laptop. Dell has a few, including their XPS 13 developer edition, and they invested a fair amount of development time in getting all of the hardware fully supported. Purism's Librem laptops are a little more expensive, but specifically built for Linux. There are a handful of other vendors that primarily support Linux.
Lenovo has been hit-and-miss for a while now, and this isn't showing much that's recent: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd031426
