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’m looking at getting myself a new laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron. I’ll be using it for some on the go video editing.

I watch TheLinuxExperiment and he seems happy enough with Tuxedo Laptops. I was looking at the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen5 - AMD but I’m open to other recommendations.

Bullshit. I asked them to take my payment and throw a laptop in the mail like some ordinary shmuck I would have bought a laptop privately from. I live in a Scandinavian country, not in Mumbo-Jumbo land. The parcel will arrive. I'll take care of import duties and everything: all they have to do is package the laptop, put a sticker with my address on it, drive to the post office and forget about it. I even offered to pay them extra for the aggravation. They refused.

It's not about the money, it's about the legal process

If you want one that badly buy a new unopened one on eBay
