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.

Couple of years ago I was looking at them and razer for a new laptop. I ended up going with razer simply because I could t find the laptop I wanted without a touchscreen and in my mind touchscreens were less crisp than non-touchscreens. How does your experience hold up?
It’s about time for me to upgrade laptops again, been like 6 years lol
Mine's the 2020 AMD model, does everything I need it to do and it's still going strong. Build quality is great and I love the high quality 2160 x 1440 display. Overall, it's been a far better experience that the Dell XPS I had previously, which started giving me issues after just a couple of years.
I bought it when I was living in Asia, though. Now I'm in the US, I honestly don't know what replacement I'd pick up if it died tomorrow.
I was looking at a Tux brand laptop, I don’t really play games on my computer anymore now that I have a steam deck so I just need something lightweight. The problem is I love the aluminum body of my razer
