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.

At lot of old laptops (including mine) have separate mouse buttons and tap-to-click. It was nice being able to use the separate mouse buttons when you didn't want to risk jiggling the cursor while clicking. Unfortunately nowadays all touchpads have the buttons integrated with the touchpad.
ThinkPads still have real mouse buttons, at least. And some who copy the ThinkPad, like HP Zbook.
