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 have a Thinkpad that has both the USB C and the traditional Thinkpad charging port.

I normally just use the USB C port, but I do like having both available.

Even if the connector in my laptop broke, there’s second one that I only used few times

Unless your Thinkpad and mine differ -- and maybe they do, given that mine has both the traditional and USB C charging ports, so a total of two -- only one of the USB C ports can charge the laptop. On mine, both USB C ports can do USB PD, but one is in/out and the other is out only.
