Linux

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.

Something ive been wanting for a while is a highly portable linux device like a phone or small tablet but obviously running fully flegde linux.

I need a device that is x86, 5g/4g networking water resistant if possible, sliding kB would be great but thats a bye gone era.

I don't want to use android based systems as when they have linux support it is via a spersific distribution made for that device. Virtualization is also not for me.
