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.

I have a dell Inspiron 7573 2 in 1. 4k screen with hybrid graphics Intel/Nvidia mx130 My laptop doesn't support LVFM on Linux. So, for the SSD I had to get into Windows and update, but it doesn't matter since I've replaced it with this one. Bios is latest since I'm able to update through a thumb drive. It's the new nvme drive that doesn't like btrfs. It's working flawlessly now on ext4. Nvidia installed and all. Zero issue. I'll be missing out on snapshots, but oh well
