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 gave an original Surface Pro tablet and I use Ubuntu's Gnome on it. It's perfect for tablets I find. Not so great for desktop PCs.
agree, alot of people say gnome is good on tablet pcs ngl.
It's got a touch interface more than anything else. I think this change came around the same time as Windows 8 when they went for a more touch screen-y experience.
oh
