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.

(Solved) This will be used in CLI mode to do some tiny programming and text file note-taking. Having WiFi would be nice. The price has got to be CHEAP. ARM is ok.

OP decided to kill windows on the Timberborn machine and go with Debian.

Nonsense. Doing anything beyond minimal scripting in any device other than a full-blown keyboard is painful.

So is taking notes, but still the phones are used for note taking

If you are unable to see the difference between occasionsl notes and full blown programming, this discussion is pointless.

Obviously since you can't see the difference between occasional coding and full blown note taking. 🙄 Enjoy your week 👋
