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.

Dell > Lenovo most days. Buy the Ubuntu edition to spurn the Windows license, then install whatever.
I’ve been wondering what the best non-Mac laptop is. Like something that’s premium feeling without being the same price as a Mac.
I have a Lenovo laptop-14 that I really like, but it’s a bit thick and the screen is a bit dim at times. The speakers are also very quiet.
Is an xps what I should be looking at?
I can say that my old XPS 13 felt premium, and the speakers blew me away with how good they were.
But XPS models, just like MacBooks, are far from cheap
I just priced one out and you get about double the ram and 2-4x the storage space of the air.
So, while I agree they are expensive, they are nowhere near MacBook pricing. Mac pricing is insane.
Also there are two different body styles and one is like $400 more but the specs I think are the same otherwise.
