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.

The System76 Lemur Pro is light, thin, repairable, and upgradeable. It’s the best Linux laptop we’ve tested.

You can. There's nothing stopping you

I thought the /s should have been enough to tell everyone that this was a joke, but apparently not.

/s denotes sarcasm, which isn't always a funny thing

I think the precursor to a joke is that it has to be at least somewhat funny. Your joke is just a statement

And not even a remotely creative statement. 🙄
