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.

How is the PineNote coming along?

I love the idea of the Pinenote, but could never afford one.

This was my question too

Not great tbh. But I made it work for my usecase somewhat.

As a huge tinkerer I like it over the Remarkable2 which I had before and which was a huge pain to customize.

But I wouldn't recommend it to normal people.
