Looks like it's Ubuntu with a bunch more apps pre-installed. After a fresh install I usually start with removing the apps I don't use -- games, accessibility tools, print drivers, cd burner, document indexer, default email client

And if you do e.g. amateur cycling races, at the same power levels 2-3kg can be the difference of being a pack fodder or getting a podium finish.
