Sorry, I have no idea what a distro is. Omg, should I know by now? As for the model, it was big and looked old. I will write down the model type when I am in class next.

"Distro" is short for "Linux distribution". In other words I was asking for the particular flavour of Linux they installed on the Lenovo machines.

Sorry, I sometimes use nerd vocabulary without meaning to.

You are just saying that because you want me to fix your computer.  :nerdy:

Ah, thank you. I thought it was something computerish that I should know by now. I can't remember the particular version of Linux so I'll ask on Tuesday. It looked green and white on the screen. I was too occupied by my own computer having problems.

Linux Mint, most likely, but there are many to choose from.

Mint is very easy to install and maintain.

I found that everyone else in my class got a computer (Lenovo) that actually worked except me. We had to install Windows 7 on them via disc and mine didn't like it and refused to show anything on the screen. It was also the loudest computer in the room. Got it working eventually (teacher did something on BIOS). We could also install Linux if we wanted but after the fuss my computer made, I decided not to.

Linux tends to work great on Lenovo computers.

I have only just heard of this (in my limited circles). Is there a technological reason for this? 

Has it to do with some compatibility of hardware in the basis of the MBs or universality of software within the BIOS?

I think they prefer standard components and solutions to the extent possible. There are rarely any Microsoft-endorsed circuits (which used to mean that the firmware was closed source and the Linux folks had to reverse-engineer the hardware so they could write software) or obscure graphics cards, with the notable exception of the early Nvidia Optimus chips that were a PAIN.

This probably explains everything.

Thank you.

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.
