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've got a Clevo laptop that covers most of your list. Mine's a bit older, a 7th gen i5, but was very cheap, and easy to upgrade. If the newer models are built the same way, it's what I'm going to go for when I eventually upgrade 👍
Aren't System76 essentially rebranded Clevo laptops? Where do you find Clevo machines at an actually good price?
they are. props, however, for system76 branching out into their in-house hardware.
Mine is a Stone branded Clevo, a Stonebook Pro p11b, but as you say, there are others out there. I bought mine refurbished for about £150 and upgraded the SSD and RAM.
