The which, type, and readlink linux commands

The which command identifies the location of commands. It searches the system PATH for executables. The -a option prints all matching locations. To inspect the PATH, use tr to split it into separate lines for improved readability.

Framework is my next laptop

Framework is going to be my next laptop. I don't want to buy another laptop with Windows pre-installed. I don't use Windows. I don't see why I should have to pay for it.
