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.

€2,100 for the base model.

€4,200 for top of the line.

Why would I want to replace my desktop with this?

Because you're a stupid consoomer. You can build a 4 liter ITX desktop that's cheaper, faster, more reliable and easier to repair than these stupid "desktop replacements". Plus for the price difference you can buy a "thin and lite" laptop so that you won't have to carry this monster around when you just need to reply to emails on the go.

edit: just to clarify I'm not saying you in particular are a stupid consoomer, just the person in the given example. People tend to get angry fast on the internet.
