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’m looking at getting myself a new laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron. I’ll be using it for some on the go video editing.

I watch TheLinuxExperiment and he seems happy enough with Tuxedo Laptops. I was looking at the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen5 - AMD but I’m open to other recommendations.

Linus is an investor in the framework company: Source on the framework forums that links to the video on youtube

spoilerWhy not directly link to the video? Because I don't want to! :P

Ironically im still downvoted despite you clearing this up... sigh

Unfortunately, in general, people tend to just read, vote, and then forget about it without checking back: that's why I always try to add some source or ways to verify what I post.

And - in this specific case - probably some people just like LTT, I assume.

Huh. Thank you very much for clearing that up - I don't really watch LTT anymore (not really for a long time, even before the whole i n c i d e n t) so it's great to have some perspective.

Shame, really.
