Linux
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.

Recently I had to decide what laptop I buy and I decided to buy an used Thinkpad T480s for 260€
I was browsing in the Framework and Slimbook websites but the price it's more than three times. It's true that they are new and the Thinkpad is used, but I was looking for Framework and Slimbook in second-hand websites but I didn't find nothing.
"Test of time" is not a valid argument anymore as there are newer ThinkPad models. To think there's only one ThinkPad model is an illusion.
Also Lenovo laptops are so sharp you could m*rder someone with it
Why do people recommend Lenovo computers that are poor quality and fail often instead HP EliteBooks that are rock solid and well designed?
I've heard the ThinkPad keyboard is excellent (I welcome input).
The olde ones are nice. Not sure about the newer ones. I have two T420s and one T430. The 420 was the last of the chicklet keys I think. Can swap CPU/RAM as well. The 430 has the CPU soldered in like most major brand laptops do meow.
