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.

Charging over USB-C a thing? A little annoyed by the barrel connector. For all the faults of my Dell XPS at least I can use my own cable+charger and I have the flexibility of charging from either side.
If you check the specs it does say under Other: "USB-C charging"
As far as I can see it does support usb C charging. At least that is implied - when you go to the store page you can select an optional usb-C charging plug+cable.
