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.

Honestly build quality matters more than specs if you're not gaming in my opinion, that's why old thinkpads are so popular

I personally got burned by a shitty modern laptop because I only looked at the specs and nothing else

I'm talking about things like:

  • chassis sturdiness
  • laptop foot grippiness
  • hinge quality
  • touchpad quality/has trackpoint
  • battery longevity (very important)
  • display colour accuracy/viewing angles
  • keyboard tactility/travel/flex

These things are harder to research but they're imo way more important than specs

This is important. In sturdiness, hinges and so, MSI usually scores very low. Mine is now a desktop laptop because if I move it is hangs and wont let you boot it again for an hour or so. Strange behavior. Lousy wuality computer.
