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.

Hi

I'm thinking about getting one and was looking at YouTube videos but none really showed it in use.

Like how keyboard works and all that.

Does anyone here have experience?

Thanks

Surface pro 5 running Pop_OS. Aside from the battery life, I love it. Works fantastically.

I barely if ever use it since I use the flip cover keyboard but it shows up and is usable.
