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.

This kind of reminds of the BlackDog: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackDog
It was a small computer that easily fit in a pocket and only had a single USB port. That was connected to a computer which powered it, and it connected as a virtual CD-ROM drive.
On that was an xming X11 server. The BlackDog ran your applications outputted through it. The applications it ran could also access the Internet through the host computer.
