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.

It sucks that apple solder everything on their laptops. I want to get one.
Yeah. We can only hope that one day Framework will give us the blessing of an ARM-based laptop with foss firmware.
That's a dream. I'd get one for sure
Even before their repairability score from iFixit sucked big time! :/
Yup. I just can't buy a machine that has nothing repairable/replaceable on it.
Apple does some things really well, but it's not worth it to risk that much money on an unrepairable machine that's known to just die randomly.
