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.

So i have my main system, i have been running NixOS on for over a year. It has been a pleasure to daily drive. And ive recently been playing with gentoo and funtoo. And althought alot of information, which is somewhat overwhelming but is slowly growing on me and making me appreatate linux as a whole. So i was wondring what other software users run, and what hardware they run it on. Ive also been looking into replacing my lenovo W540 because the Nvidia K110m is royal pain and kills my battery life. Ive been looking at lenovos t480, t480s t440p. And cant decide, i really would like at least 4 cores, good linux support and long battery life aswell as repairablility. The laptop is going to mostly be a web browsing machine aswell as trying out gentoo and new distros. If you have any suggestions on a laptop id very be much grateful.

Cheers,
