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.

You have to be careful on the 80 series. They are either 7th gen Intel or 8th gen Intel. My sister has an i5-7200u t580. Also 8th gen is weird, I've been having issues with my pavilion trying to get it to run at base clock. I had to uninstall Intel thermald and run "throttled", a GitHub script to run at base clock.
Also it's the last generation of T series that has dual batteries, and a few gens later, they move to soldered ram.
