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.

Fanless linux laptop (lemdro.id)

I'm looking for an Apple MacBook Air M2 alternative that could run Linux.

I need something fanless, super lightweight with very long battery life. The only apps I use are Shotcut video editor, Chrome and Firefox.

Any advice?

Is it a good idea to get a MacBook Air m2 and use something like Asahi Linux or should I wait for arm linux laptops to become available.

The entire concept of "quantum" is that it's the smallest possible unit.

A "quantum leap" is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.

The Planck length, based (it's a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That's 0.00..00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.
