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.

Buy a framework laptop instead!
after using the m1 air, I'm sold on arm
it doesn't have fans so no complaints of noise (my old laptop gave me ptsd of fan noise and I've also heard framework 12^th^ having fan noise as it has a single fan coupled with a p-series processor)
I'd love to see amd/intel make an arm chip as microsoft also seems to pick-up the windows on arm thing
I don't think there are any laptops that have no fans. What if you have a workload that exists, is the cpu just supposed to overheat?
You can disapate heat into the metal chassis without a fan, and if your CPU only generates a few watts, even at 100% this doesn't cause it to overheat. This has been done with desktops that are.much more powerful, but it's also been done on the new M2 MacBook air, because the m2 CPU is quite efficient. It doesn't overheat because the case passively dissapates heat fast enough. It's also not a performance laptop.
Damn, I didn't know that.
