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.

This is a Yoga exclusive problem due to its non conventional form and function.

That's the only form factor that's relevant to me, so that's what I evaluate. Other ThinkPads and laptops don't matter to me.

The Linux hardware support for Bluetooth, WiFi and other stuff is far superior to any other mainstream laptop maker.

How? They use the same Intel/Broadcom/Realtek chips as everyone else.

MILSPEC-810G certification

If this is something you require, ok. But that's not something I value at all. I haven't dropped a laptop yet and don't need any certifications.

What I see is a lot of plastic cracking and breaking off with the X-series tablets (own an X201t and owned multiple X230t in the past) and new laptops starting to creak after mostly sitting on a desk for a couple of months. So overall I don't think the build quality is anything special and I believe there are laptops for the same price that hold up as well or better over time. But it isn't terrible either, it is just ok in my opinion.

Edit: I have figured you out, you donkey, downvoting every comment I make on my account. Go touch grass and snip your internet cable with a scissor. And maybe eat some shit and get diarrhea too.

I don't think I have downvoted a single comment from you, at least not in this thread.
