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.

for another (other than Tuxedo) EU based solution: https://slimbook.es/en/
(They are at Valencia, Spain).
But I have no about idea its quality as I have never tried one.
I have a Slimbook PRO X AMD. Except for the rubber bands on the bottom coming loose after ~2 years, it just works. And I never had a laptop from any manufacturer where the rubber feet/bands did not start to peel of after a few years.
oh cool I didn't realize they've got an AMD model now
They have had it for a while ;-)
ps: I hope I got the tense right. Not a native speaker and slightly drunk. They still have it.
Just got one of their Executive line, with their own Ubuntu fork, and is keeping up quite nicely. I was looking for thinkpads but read about the quality drop in latest models, so I gave them a try. They do a decent job re. drivers and support a range of Linux distros.
