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 just checked it, and the cheapest option we have is around 40k, jfml. The reason for the expensiveness is the stores inflate the prices, and the taxes double the already ridiculous prices.
Good to know! I might even try to dualboot using their ISOs instead.
TUR?
Yep, a very hostile country against its citizens.
Idk how bad shipping/vat/crossing the eurozone border is but Cheap laptops that will get the job done with linux: dell/hp/lenovo business class models (precision/lattitude, whatever hp calls their stuff, t/p/x series respectively) with 3rd/4th gen Intel processors are still viable in 2026.
Hell I was doing cad work on a 3rd gen intel laptop from 15 years ago last year (small models only, of course!)
Hope you find one that suits your needs.
Importing anything above €27 is out of the question here, the prices increases exponentially, and there's a high risk of getting it seized in the border for govt to resel it in a higher price later. As I said earlier, I can work with VM or dualboot.
