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.

That's my current laptop since 2+ years go and I love it. Battery lasts a day no prob for regular work. If you're constantly compiling it won't, but then on battery it throttles a lot so it gives you good balance.
Anyway, with tlp you can tweak it a lot, I'm mostly going with the defaults, just lowered the max charge to protect the battery.
Only thing not working out of the box on Ubuntu is the fingerprint reader. I read that there are ways but I haven't bothered.
