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.

Oooh, I'll have to keep that in mind. I had to go on the hunt for a USB dock with Ethernet and my phone was right there the whole time.
The feature is called "WiFi Tethering" and is available on most Android systems (sometimes OEMs or carriers disable it)
On iOS it should enable automatically if you've got a hotspot active and connect your device to your computer via USB
