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.

These are the clowns that still put nvidia in their Linux laptops.
I'm sure the hardware specs are fine -- I wouldn't give nvidia another penny if I could avoid it.
I’d go for Nvidia mainly for the better performance with DaVinci Resolve (generally speaking ).
Generally speaking, nvidia has horrendous drivers and stability issues, and are hostile to the open source community at large, but you do you.
Additionally, nvidia and wayland are notoriously bad together, and with most major distributions now shipping with wayland by default, and KDE Plasma now defaulting to wayland OOB - buying nvidia hardware at this point for linuxy bits is.... foolish, imo.
Yep, Framework, Starlabs, System76 all would be better choices for Linux.
