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 have an older InfinityBook and a slightly less older Pulse. What I hate about both is the noise. The fucking fans are so incredibly annoying. Also they are not just loud, they scale up in weird steps (not linear) making it seem like something's attacking.
In consequence I use it with throttled CPU most of the time, but then even the desktop can become laggy.
Theoretically it's nice hardware, practically I won't get another.
My model (the InfinityBook Pro 6) has two fans: when they ramp up they are clearly noticeable, but I don't think they are that annoying. I feel like the noise is acceptable and justified by the laptop's thinness, but that's just my perception and it could be that the thermal department has changed through the generations.
