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.

I think it might be worth your time looking into the Frameworks laptops. To get a good cpu and the same io as you'd get here would cost you ~1200$ iirc, but the refresh rate would be lower. But if you do decide to buy this I wouldn't recommend getting linux preinstalled.

Edit: Just checked and that would be with a very low end cpu, so nvm. Getting one with a intel chip with comparable performance would set you back 2600$.
