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 attempted to do this like a dozen times with my i7/32GB ram 9310. Had a few successful attempts but the board was just fried. Ended up getting an i5/16GB board off ebay. So upset the i7 board crapped out. I had only been using the laptop sparingly for on site work and occasional content consumption and it was only a few months out of warranty when it went to shit.
