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.

Mine is painful for storage. The eMMC is the most painful part. I can deal with low memory, I can deal with the cpu, but read and writes are painfully slow.
I am using fedora cosmic atomic and it works better than most.
Look up how to tweak reads and writes for eMMC if you have it, you can help speed it up.
I wonder if reading from the ports is any faster?
Yes. A lot. Using the usb C port all operations are about 4 to 8 times faster per Kdiskmark.
Unfortunately, carrying around the os attached to the usb is kind of a pain.
