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.

Sounds like a great laptop to run Windows on /s
Edit: quite surprising how many people don't understand the /s.
I like how not even the "/s" saved you from the brainless.
I guess, they, for some reason, do want people to run Windows on that machine^^
Or they are triggered so hard, that they couldn't even understand the /s anymore when they got to that point of the sentence.
It's just a bad joke.
You can. There's nothing stopping you
I thought the /s should have been enough to tell everyone that this was a joke, but apparently not.
/s denotes sarcasm, which isn't always a funny thing
I think the precursor to a joke is that it has to be at least somewhat funny. Your joke is just a statement
And not even a remotely creative statement. 🙄
