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.

oooo this thing looks awesome, I want one.
I've always been fascinated by this type of form factor.

This looks great and seems very reasonably priced. Pretty sure it won't replace my Android tablet but it might tempt me into trying.

Hm, I'm interested, although I've gotten by just fine running Linux on my old Surface Pro 3

Oh cool. Glad it's not ARM. Way more distro options.
