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 thought Thinkpads work perfectly with Linux. I bought a pretty new Laptop from HP and it worked fine out of the box. Only issues were the battery life, which I fixed by installing auto-cpufreq (seems to work better than tlp), the fingerprint scanner because it uses a proprietary system instead of doing it the standart way and it doesn't detect when I turn around the display (it's one of those you can use like a tablet) even though it does deactivate the keyboard when I do that. Everything else works perfectly fine.
