I'm using a Lenovo Legion with Arch Linux running on it, and can only recommend. Linux runs pretty well on Lenovo machines to begin with (I even once heard that most Linux distros are tested/developed on Lenovos, no guarantee on that, though...), the gaming specs allow for several VMs, IDEs and othe resource hogs to run smoothly at the same time and it boots up in a matter of seconds. I know a lot of people running on Lenovo Yogas as well, Manjaro or Ubuntu are also possible options. Only "downside": getting the RGB keyboard backlight running is a bit painful :D
