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.

Bought a 9 incher for server because I sucked at remoting in.
Fairly delicate but it was like 40 dollars. It is serviceable and serves the need. Am able to complete simple tasks via the touch screen. It kinda spazzes out with multi selecting/ touch but again 40 dollars.
Cords are fairly obtrusive but never bugged me. Solved by getting on that's mini hdmi or c like the other poster mentioned.
Can turn it off with a little switch in the back which it's mostly off. No issue on power up. Quicker than my dells honestly
I realize this is the dumbest setup but it works 🤷
