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.

Hello i'm searching for buy a laptop, i want to set a Linux OS but i didn't chose yet if you want u can recommend SO also, but i want a rolling release one, what i want is a laptop to carry practically everywhere, my budget is 500€ but if i like it too much it could go up to 1100, I need minimun of 16GB because when i work i don't close the tabs, once i've stacked up to 258, i would like a minimun of 512 gb of space, and i'll use the laptop to programming (currently im studing programation), i would like also do my own thinks such a web server, stream server, minecraft server and maybe a casual game such minecraft CS2 or The Binding of Isaac. The keyboard is important ,for me atleast, the Lenovo keyboards i hate them, i like LG or Asus/Acer, all of these i would like to dont open/modify the base laptop, I dont like to open the pc. I know the budget is impossible to catch something with all that but these are orientative objectives, and as I said it can go up to 1100€, one i've seen and i liked very much is these https://frame.work/es/en/products/laptop-13-gen-amd/configuration/new the 1600€ but is so expensive for me, but i like it very much even the concept

I have a Lenovo slim 7 pro x (14arh7), and everything works perfectly outside the box (depending on your model, maybe the wifi card can give you trouble or require extra drivers though). It has a great large trackpad, 120hz 14.5 inch 3k display, perfect for programming and text with 200% integer scaling, an rtx 3050 for the occasional gaming and a Ryzen 6800hs. The only big downside imo is that the ram is soldered, so I’d suggest finding one with 32gb. I got mine new for 1000cad at the end of 2022 so you could certainly find it for cheaper used.
