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.

Don't understand the snarky title. This is a good thing. Waiting for AMD to kick out that mobile ARM chip anytime now. We're waiting.
X86_64 has been challenged and surpassed in some cases, no more duopoly will exist anymore fortunately. It's time for a price race now
ARM is not capable of surpassing the existing world of x86 in raw power. It's not about that. People do want an 8 hour battery life out of their laptops though.
The last part is probably referring to the fact that they're using Debian instead of their own TuxedoOS.
