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.

From experience, I recommend Tuxedo laptops. They're really good and come with full Linux support.
I must say I'm not 100% happy with my InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 9 AMD. The build quality has very much improved since the Gen 7 (which I daily-drove before), but it feels like Tuxedo's take on "Linux Laptop" is rather something like "Tuxedo-OS Laptop". On Fedora I had to tweak kernel params so my laptop doesn't wake up from sleep on its own and do the same to resolve an audio issue, and my RJ45 port just simply doesn't work even with their drivers.
And something inside the device makes a quiet but annoying beep-like noise when the fans don't spin.
Apart from that I love the device, but if you plan to use your own distro of choice and really want a high-quality build I'd not really recommend it.
