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.

And of course I'm installing Linux on it. Install went well, even the fingerprint sensor built in to the laptop works.

Mostly this will be a school and DND machine but always nice to have a functional laptop for whatever else I may need it for.

Bruh, you have no case. Go away, troll.

You've taken some light ribbing much more seriously than you should. To the point where you expose personal details about yourself, real or not, to strangers on the internet to emotionally charge your rebuttal. The digging into someone elses comment history is traditionally cringe neckbeard behavior, but you do you boo boo. I already told you what you did wrong. I'm not trolling. Don't be a dweeb.

Your initial comment to OP came off mouthbreathingly arrogant. I said what I said. Sorry if it hurt your feelings more than it should.
