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.

Even a potato can run Linux so regardless of a distro it should be all fine.

A potato with a GPU only compatible with deprecated Nvidia drivers would still be just that and a hard pass for Linux.

Luckily this notebook is AMD-based, so should be fine. Maybe the WiFi card could cause trouble.

Hopefully it not because I don't use Ethernet

Most WiFi modules are fairly easy to change out for one that Linux is happy with.
