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.

Uh, what? 🤣
Looks like a delicious machine though. What are everyone's experience with Slimbooks overall?
I have the very old KDE Slimbook I from around 2017, and am very happy with it, built quality is very decent, well it is 7/8 years old now and still working nicely. Also have good experience with their support. PSU in the laptop died when it was about one year old because of lightning strike and electricity surge and they replaced the PSU without any questions and cost (except for shipping). The only thing I miss with my laptop is better keyboard, and more sturdy screen hinges. But yeah other then that. I can only recommend Slimbook.
I am using Tuxedo laptops since a few years now and it was always a pleasure to use them. Slimbook and Tuxedo are using barebones from Tongfang and sometimes Clevo in different configuration. I guess the build quality is almost the same for both of them.
