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.

Get an SSD as it will make your life way better
I did that later but this laptop only supports SATA II speeds so it helped, but isn't game changing like it would be on SATA III speeds
Does it have a PCIe slot for an extra WiFi card? You might be able to adapt it.
No it's too old and cheap for extra slots. But for 2011 it runs office stuff, zoom calls, etc perfectly fine. With w10 it was a complete brick.
