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.

@HistoPol @Linux4Everyone @linux I have that laptop and Ubuntu runs well on it. Make sure you are running the latest Nvidia graphics driver. It's an Optimus laptop which game me problems running a second screen on it, but I work around it by setting it up to use the DGPU all the time (sudo prime-select nvidia from the terminal). Probably not smart for battery life to do that, but everything is gravy for me after doing that.
