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 have a Lenovo slim 7 pro x (14arh7), and everything works perfectly outside the box (depending on your model, maybe the wifi card can give you trouble or require extra drivers though). It has a great large trackpad, 120hz 14.5 inch 3k display, perfect for programming and text with 200% integer scaling, an rtx 3050 for the occasional gaming and a Ryzen 6800hs. The only big downside imo is that the ram is soldered, so I’d suggest finding one with 32gb. I got mine new for 1000cad at the end of 2022 so you could certainly find it for cheaper used.
