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.

Do not buy dell... They are like apple without the whole "good products" part.
Suggest a better choice, please. Lenovo?
If you want a PC laptop, my recommendation is that you either get a framework or buy one from a linux manufacturer (System76/Tuxedo/Slimbook)... Or if you need GPU horsepower on the go, just get whichever gaming laptop is on sale, they are all pretty much the same. If you're on a budget, try your hand at 2nd hand. If you country doesn't have a developed 2nd hand market, then you might consider getting a budget laptop, however those generally tend to suck and I'd recommend against it, unless you really just NEED a laptop.
Just don't buy dell "flagship" products, they are just worse macbooks
