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.

In what way? To me, this seems viable.
Hell, really any laptop with 4G/5G modem. Internet connectivity anywhere is mostly my concern. A pocket-sized computer is still fairly convenient, but it doesn't provide me with anything unique a laptop can't replace.
It was mostly a quip about replacing the convenience of something that fits in your pocket and is handheld. I like the idea, it could work for some people. Definitely not me, I'm not in front of a screen / PC for almost all of my day. I do stay in touch with people via texts / calls throughout the day however.
