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.

Not speed so much as disk space, non-upgradeable 16g emmc severely limits the use of them. I have like 3-4 chromebooks I'd like something small on. Most distros get up to 4-7 gb once updated and equipped with desktop and browser. I'd like to see a loss of 1.5-2gb for a basic desktop.
