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.

They look pretty good, and the price is decent.

You could probably look into something like paperwm or Niri, I think scrollable window managers have a lot of potential to be a novel but good touch experience

EDIT: Im not sure if niri support touch, I havent tested it, but I think i might actually try it myself when I get the chance now
