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.

Others have already answered what the “s” means. I’ll just add that it’s worth checking Lenovo’s Linux support page for the model you’re considering: https://lenovo.com/linux
Also, I’ll point out that the ThinkPad X9 14 seems to be quite heavily discounted right now. You get better core specs for your money than T14 or T14s.
