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.

Or... a decent Openwrt router like the Banana Pi BPI-R3. I believe the only argument for those kinds of devices is the Wifi support but I don't believe the price and specs on the device shared by the OP are reasonable at all. If you don't need Wifi, then yes, a good SBC and a cheap switch will be a much better alternative.
