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've been seeing this company pop up lately, so I finally checked out their offerings. Do they just routinely announce new, diverse products, only to be never revisited with a new revision? All their AMD laptops seem to be no newer than 2 generations old. Their Intel mini PC has a 5 generation old CPU. Their AMD mini PC has an option between 3 generations old, or a higher end 2 generations old CPU.
Did they hire a bunch of ex-Googlers, or something? Seeing a lack of dedication to their products pretty much immediately erases any intrigue I had.
