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 believe PostmarketOS with the PinePhone Pro is a decent experience.~~ Nope, it's not. Don't get it if you don't want to contributr your time to the project. With that said, I'm not too confident on its usability, 2 years after its release. What do you run and what has your experience been like?
Is the PPP any good now? I have one in the drawer, it was mostly unusable when I bought it.
