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.

Yes, because not many other things can be considered both a symptom and a cure.
i own four xx20 series thinkpads. One of which has debian with i3wm, the other three dont have anything installed atm. Sue me ik.
xx20 series is the best tbh. The only thing maybe arguably better is x80 series, due to the more modern processors and actual features over the xx20 series. xx40
my w520 with an i7 2720qm or whatever the fuck is it is is genuinely better than any intel mobile cpu that isn't quad core. AND it's socketed.
looking for a cheap xx40s (or p it's whichever one is better i cant remember) just for the completion, as well as an xx80 just to have one with more modern hardware, but my xx20 is everything i'll need in a laptop tbh. I would also like to get an x220 at some point.
naming legend for anybody wondering.
- x - model type, w, t, x, etc
- x - the device type, 4, 5, 2, etc usually screen size related
- n - device model? Release related.
- n - 0, just the number zero, anything that isn't a zero is e waste im pretty sure.

Upgrading the ram of my x240 is my therapy
The voices in my head says "daily drive ParrotOS"
I mean can thearopy give me a neofetch?
postin' from my 4th gen X1 Carbon running arch converted from antergos.
So what the ram is soldered, its 4lbs and still gets 7+ hours of battery life after 8 years of use.
Btw, i use Artix.
So you're just going to call me out like that, huh?
