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 not fully understood the meaning or significance of these news and the content of this article. I have a Tuxedo laptop, and for now I am happy with Tuxedo OS. But I am of course interested in the ability to change distro at some point.
Am I understanding it correctly that I will have a very hard time doing so without patching the kernel myself to ensure proper hardware support? And even then it will be difficult?
You can still install other distros, but the power profiles won't work well, and you might fry your cpu if the fans don't kick in -- for example.
