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.

İ am using pop os with my rtx4060 laptop. İ consider to switch an office laptop. İ will use it for editing and coding. İ love linux and open source but have to admit that mac is something different to me. İt is perfect. İ hate it is a product of apple but they did it really well. But also i want to use linux. But i cannot take 12 hours battery with linux laptops. İ could have buy tuxedo infinit book 14 pro but they dont ship to my country. What should i do?

That's a carefully crafted illusion. And if you're a power user, it won't last long.

Buy any other laptop, e.g. Lenovo.

How so? I’m probably as power user as it gets (been using Macs since around ‘95, been splitting roughly 50/50 between Mac and Linux since around ‘06, and I love weird esoteric coding tools, so I’ll try to run some truly cursed setups) and I can’t imagine what you’re alluding to.
