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.

Thanks for the recs. I am looking pretty hard at a T580 refurb on eBay right now. I am looking for a bit more modern processor than most of what you have suggested, I think.
I'm on a T580, great machine, basically a P52. Dual batteries. No TN screens (I think, make sure). I put the discrete graphics card cooler in my (integrated graphics) coz I live in a hot place and some TPN7950 on the CPU, and it never cracks 70C and usually stays silent. Upgraded the SSD to a 2TB nvme, and it's basically been flawless for 2+ yrs, touch wood.
Yup, Framework 16 highly tempting, that 8xOculink project is awesome. I'm usually a firm believer in out of contract business models, but this...
Right on. If I was buying new, I'd be looking at Framework or Tuxedo.
Yeah I can't really justify the cost right now either. If I was more patient, I could just wait until we retire another Thinkpad at work :p
