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.

T480, so not quite as well aged as the x201.
Pretty much everything I have is somewhere between 6 and 15 years old. My wife's laptop is an x1 yoga gen 2 (2016), my TV's "streaming box" is an m910q, my servers are a random mix of tmm's with the newest being p330s and the oldest is a dell from 2013ish. I just cobbled a frankenstein together with parts from 2008 and up, which went to my BIL because he needed a PC and I needed less parts in my office.
Off lease business stuff is an absolute favorite of mine to pick up.
I finally got an excuse to upgrade my wife's T480 to Mint when Windows said it won't support 11.
