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.

TIL: Some people actually like their laptop to wake up after openning the lid!
I've used Elitebooks with elementary for years and found the wakup after pressing a button logical.
What pissed me off about probooks/elitebooks was that they woke up to inform me about the low battery, then went back to sleep due to low battery, then wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up... and the agony went on until the sweet death. I've never felt so sorry for a non living object before or after.
Oh, and also elementary can't go to sleep from the lockscreen, on any hardware. One of those those bugs that I'm always sure will be taken care of in the next release, but it never is.
