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.

eSIM is just a card. That card plugs into a modem. That modem hardware is what needs to be supported by the kernel. Find out what the modem is, then search that to find out if it's well supported.
Got this - I am just interested if the system then supports enabling/disabling mobile via taskbar (KDE here)-symbol etc . pp. , therefore asking for experience with this matter.
In Gnome it will appear as a network device in the quick menu. Just like Ethernet or WiFi. On KDE, YMMV because it already has issues with network devices that come and go.
Okay, then I'll go ahead here and check it out - that's the answer I needed. Thank you!
