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.

Relatedly, there was a company was selling a cloud(🤡)-based product called "Little Printer" from 2012 to 2014; after their backend predictably shut down, some fans of it recreated it as https://tinyprinter.club/ and later https://nordprojects.co/projects/littleprinters/

somehow input my handwritten notes

I've heard the reMarkable e-ink tablet's cloud service has good-enough-to-be-usable handwriting recognition, but sadly I haven't heard of anything free/libre and/or offline that is.

This is super cute. Thanks for sharing!

I've eyed those for some time but I do prefer FOSS or at least only connected to my own server... That is a cool suggestion!
