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.

Raspberry pis are expensive in general. That's what I meant my not cost effective
100€ for such a perfoant device (for the price) seems like a good deal to me
You can get more from a old PC for around the same cost. If it works for you that's good. I want to point out there are other options
