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.

Fedora on every PC and my Pinebook Pro Mobian on my Pinephone Pro and Arch on my spare Pinephone
What are your thoughts on the Pinephone? Do you use it regularly or as a daily driver or is it more just a device you tinker with here and there? I've been thinking of getting one for a while but haven't been able to convince myself to pull the trigger, even with how affordable it is.
I got the standard pinephone a year or two ago and found that the hardware just wasn't ready to be a daily driver (not sure if or what might've changed since). They only get a few hours of battery life with the screen on which just didn't suit me as a daily driver. and that's on-top of running on low-end hardware.
Neat tech to play with as a dev, but I just don't see it being ready for regular use right now.
