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 have an MSI Bravo 17 for work since this month,
quite happy about it so far.
My experience with MSI is best price/value for hardware specs, but with shitty build quality.
However this one feels quite sturdy compared to earlier MSI laptops.
It can get loud under heavy duty,
but it goes quiet again under low workload,
for now at least, my previous MSI laptop sounded like a jet engine whenever it was powered on.
The one you posted seems particularly suited to run Linux upon, since it's an all AMD machine, and their Linux support is great.
Oh cool, I'll get it then hopefully it didn't sole out because at that price it's a steal in my country, for comparison they still selling shitty dell laptops with 7-8 gen CPU for 400$+
