After my failed attempts to to get windows to boot on it and not wanting to buy a Windows license I tried several different Linux distributions and ended up staying with Fedora.

I tend to use the Linux laptop sporadically. I play around with some IOT harware/software development on it. Mainly using Python and Flask for coding and web apps.
One of my development board is a small credit card sized board with with 4g of memory that runs Debian Linux. Anytime i get into the mood to work on it I update the the laptop if there are os updates. I'm running Fedora 20 on it now.
