From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 good for Linux? (midwest.social)

I'm considering buying a secondhand Yoga Slim 7 with AMD/Ryzen 7 for 400 dollars. Is this a good deal? My parents advise against it because the laptop is old (3-4 years), so I'm not sure. I also don't know how well Linux (Fedora/KDE) runs on this particular model. It comes with 512/16GB. I need advice cause I need to make a decision in like 2 days.

Before I install Linux on anything, I would Google to see if anyone else did it. It takes out a lot of guessing work and headaches.

Getting the exact product number would be really helpful. There's like 8 versions of the normal one by itself.

I've been trying to find sources online but I'm never sure if it's the exact model. How do I get the product number? Like in specifications under settings ("model-ID")?

Not definite but there should be as sticker or text printed underneath.
