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.

It's not without some flaws (much of which really doesn't bother me and I low-key find them as a feature), I really love this jank Chinese 2 in 1 I picked up. P8 mini laptop. I will say there are alternatives that have a better non swiveling screen... I would go for one of those as I feel like it's going to be problematic long-term
