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'm currently running (and have been for well over a year), an x1 carbon 5th Gen. I daily it for work, running Opensuse tumbleweed.
It's arguably the greatest laptop running Linux experience I've had. I have a 2015 MacBook pro running Opensuse Leap, which is also really good. But the keyboard is far better on the X1C.
Im bouncing between my desk and various buildings all day for work, so I never really stretch the batteries wings. It's good for up to 3 hours (depending on work load) I feel like... But I've not really tested it. I always have the machine with me and could charge it up and put it through its paces this weekend if it would be of interest to you? Obviously this machine has been around awhile, and I'm not even certain of the battery's health.
Edit: Just wanted to add, 10/10, would HIGHLY recommend!
