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.

Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.
It's not a gaming laptop. It's marketed as a productivity laptop - now all the rave is ML and DL so you need cuda.
What are ML and DL?
The laptop seems a bit expensive and I don’t know how repaireable and upgradeable it is, but it’s good to have some brand engaged with Linux .
ML = Machine Learning
DL = Deep Learning
Thanks 🙏
