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 like the company and their commitment, but I would still not recommend them (I have two Tuxedo laptops myself and see others from my colleagues): all I saw were loud. Most cannot run completely without fan active, none were able to keep the fan quiet if you put even a little bit load on it. If you put REAL load on it you go deaf.
I would really like them to be perfect, but all I've seen disappointed me, unfortunately. And I am not sure I would take that gamble again when I replace my current one.
