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.

Exactly... People hanging on to windows for dear life pretending like they had to "learn" windows

Indeed. A cellphone with google search opened in a browser is all you need.

Connect a keyboard to your phone!

wireless keyboards? a good wireless keyboard is more expensive than old thinkpads in my region ._.

I was thinking a wired one that you already own?

yeah i guess but wouldn't you need a usb a to c adapter and a powered usb hub and a external power supply?

or are keyboards power efficient enough that you don't need one?
