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.

Nice! And they will probably differentiate from the competition by allowing GPL applications and sideloading, and having a total control for your privacy and no tracking, right?

Right?

Best we can do is exclusive Amazon deals related to what you just talked about with your spouse.

Yeah and maybe Bezos will finally allow his workers to have bathroom breaks

Delivery drivers are free to sideload a fully open bucket and take bathroom breaks in the privacy of their vans.

I know there's sarcasm here, but the article did state an sdk will be available so apps need ported.
