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.

Hardware-wise it’s the best laptop you can buy. It’s fast, quiet with amazing battery life. Speakers are superb. Keyboard, touchpad and display it’s just very nice to work with. I’ve had several non Apple laptops in the past and they’re just no match.
Only thing is MacOS, I just can’t get used to it. It is not that big of an issue for me because I mostly just use a terminal and a browser on it (it’s not my main computer). But being able to run Linux natively on it would be nice.
