Question

There are some Lenovo laptops that have options of buying

with Ubuntu preinstalled.
So lenovo must have made changes to Ubuntu installed in laptop to make it compatible and features to work properly.
So does these changes get transfered to general Ubuntu iso available from ubuntu website ?

Your assumption is wrong. It's just stock Ubuntu that's installed, the hardware on those Laptops are just verified to work with Ubuntu. You can't do custom orders on those laptops with hardware that's not Linux compatible (as per Lenovo's tests)

Okay, I thought since choosing Ubuntu linux for OS in laptop cost 2500 Rupees extra while making purchase in lenovo website, they must have modified the image for better compatibility.

That's there because versions change, am pretty sure, not because they add magic sauce.

It says "Some Lenovo features anf functionality maybe lost" if Ubuntu ISO from ubuntu website is used. Maybe they refer about older version of Ubuntu or something else .

This is not normal, usually no OS or Linux is free, Windows is extra. Just buy it without an OS, it's not like you want to inflict Ubuntu on yourself anyway.

Calling software free doesn't mean that the software isn't copyrighted, and it doesn't mean that installation media containing that software must be distributed at no charge. Free software, in part, means that the licenses of individual programs do not require you to pay for the privilege of distributing or using those programs.

yeah, in ubuntu website, certified section , it says Pre-installed in some regions with a custom Ubuntu image that takes advantage of the system’s hardware features and may include additional software. Standard images of Ubuntu may not work well, or at all.

I had a friend that bought a Dell XPS with preinstalled Ubuntu, and I'm almost 100% sure it was not stock Ubuntu. There was even a special partition that contained the reinstall image if needed, iirc. So it's not impossible that Canonical still makes some kind of special releases in collaboration with a few manufacturers?

Dell always ships with customised ISOs and bloat. You can still install the stock ISO and the additional drivers, etc afterwards
