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.

No one cares about Ubuntu touch anymore. If anything, we care about post market os or Debian.
Explain why post market os and Mobian are better.
Because they are not Ubuntu /s
True I feel like some people in the Linux community may mistakenly think that canonical is the one running the show when it was ubports who resumed development.
Because they have bigger teams and are using regular Linux tech.
Fair enough, I will have to research the other distros.
