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?

Well, I think the latitudes are great to work on (at least my 5290). Just remove the Phillips screws on the back cover and you can replace practically everything. But it's still way more delicate than the t440p (which is harder to accidentally harm.

Could be they've improved! I didn't have much trouble opening mine but I did need a special star bit for the screws, and they tended to fall out without thread lock.
