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.

My experience with pine64 in general, or with the pinebook in particular: cheap & transparent (and that's what makes them so amazing), various OS versions available, but some work is required even if it's preinstalled.
AFAIU they take no responsibility whatsoever for the OS.
I had no significant problems with the hardware.
PS: I don't think the PineTab2 is cheap. The Pinebook cost €99 plus shipping from China, which basically doubled the price.
What kind of work do you mean?
Basic Linux tweaking. It's irrelevant now because a) many years have passed and b) it's different hardware.
