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.

Good to know. Which model do you have? I've been eyeing up something along the lines of the Pangolin when I next upgrade. I've been a fan of Pop for some time, and I'm currently running it on my three main computers. It's great on my Dev One and I've also got it on an older Alienware laptop. Their customer support is pretty good, I contacted them about information on a keyboard a while back and it seemed they knew what they were doing.
It's a Ryzen 7 Pangolin, I bought it almost 2 years ago.
Thanks!
Friend of mine bought a Pangolin, anything to watch out for?
I had my cpu fan die after a year, so maybe that. They replaced it really fast though.
