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.

I'm... Not really sure what your question is. What do you mean by your laptop "fitting in the community?"
As any other community, Linux community has its own principles and tendencies. I'm talking about DIY distros (like Arch), autotiling WMs, programming socks, $30 Thinkpads and similar things here. But ultimately this post is obviously a joke and a bad one ik. Guess I have to get an examination for that genetic disorder which causes a stable abnormally increased amount of ethanol in blood lol.
You're thinking of Auto-Brewery Syndrome, I think.
Yes. Didn't know it was called the same in English as it is it my native language.
