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.

I’m really impressed by the fact that it’s so difficult to find something I miss even if I really try hard.
I’d say I miss being able to do a backup of my work iPhone with iTunes and not some obscure command line tool. But that’s about it and I’m not even sure I really need it since my company is trying to block reinstalling from a backup for safety reasons probably.
Linux has really become something that everyone can use day to day provided they have the right hardware and not something like my Surface Go where the bluetooth comes and goes.
Are you aware of the dedicated Surface Linux Kernel?
I haven't encountered any Bluetooth issues on my Surface, but I also barely ever use Bluetooth, so I may have simply not noticed.
I used it for a while and it helped but there were still issues from time to time so I’m just deciding to go wired for my mouse now
I forgot about easy integration with iPhones. Tethering requires extra steps and I haven’t tried pulling files off.
