Linux

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.

I just love pmOS. I think it's the best mobile OS in existence now (Android became bloated after 11 so don't tell me about that).

Yeah if it ran on modern devices i would 100% use it. PMOS really needs more support and more people need to know it exists. Problem is qualcomm(and even mediatek iirc) dont contribute to linux with most of their chips so everything has to be reverse engineered and upstreamed to work.
