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 can reccomend huawei laptops with metal chassis. I've had my matebook x pro for around 6 years. My past laptops made of plastic disentegrted over time
Clearly you never have a Thinkpad.
I want one of those Panasonic rugged laptops that can withstand being run over with a truck. The are made to run outdoors and they work in very wet environments. They also have dual batteries that can be swapped quickly so you can have one on the changer and one in the device.
Yeah meanwhile my kid stepped on my metal cased Dell when he was 3 and bent the metal, cracking the screen
Chinese so not a great option
So there are safe countries and non safe countries now? Whats the difference?
I would avoid non Democratic countries. I especially wouldn't use Huawei as they have been cause putting backdoors in network equipment. You could argue that they got the idea from the NSA but I don't think the answer is to fight fire with fire.
