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.

Never seen that, and I build with hundreds of variants from all the big manufacturers. Haven't seen that once in a PC, Laptop, or SFF.
i last saw it the last time i was a system admin tasked w spec-ing out hardware for our offices in austin, ft. lauderdale, denver, and inland empire and i remember being surprised at how much worse they were than the thinkpads i had grown accustomed to supporting as front line tech in mountain view 10 years before that.
and now w that in mind: it would have been circa 2015 so the landscape should have changed by now; maybe they reversed course like they did the rubycon capacitors that caused the capacitor plague 15ish years ago.
