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 got a refurbished HP Elitebook for under $500 that had 500 gb nvme and 16 gb ram, core i5 gen 8 processor from Woot. Still had part of the original warranty as well as a one year one from the refurb company. Runs great, no dents or wear. Can do Windows 11 if you ever had to. I personally have had good success with HP Pro/Elite/Z lines vs Lenovo in just not having random problems. Main problem is if you let them get too dead battery wise but it could be replaced since it’s easy to open usually. We have hundreds of them in use for years and not much issues. Seen more problems on Lenovos in a business setting even brand new expensive ones.
