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 think I've read in Lemmy somewhere that the T14 notebooks should be avoided is they come with letters after the T14. I'm thinking of buying a T14s G5. It has to be new as we get tax deduction (will be at the reception of small local museum). What do people this of this notebook. I'll end up installing Linux on it. I was thinking of going DELL as I've been running various latitudes over the years without major problems but looks like people are not fond of DELL + Linux. Any thoughts?

The “s” means it’s a tiny bit thinner and lighter, but the components are soldered on so you can’t upgrade anything.

One of the big selling points of the newest T14 is that it is probably the most modular and repairable modern laptop you can get, except for Frameworks.

Get the non-s if you care even a little bit about that part.

The upgradability depends, the 14s g5 has upgradable ram, etc.

Plus Lenovo checks the network cards and wireless/WWAN cards for authenticity, so no upgrades apart from the hardware which comes with the model), but I'm not sure if that's still the case.
