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.

oh thank you. Im going to think about it more. I thank you for the research. I just dont wanna buy a device, that when the company ehind, decides that the device isnt working anymore, i cant do anything to expand the lifecircle. I like how i could get a older Thinkpad to get a new life with Linux :)
With pleasure, if you do have questions later on though, even in months, please feel free to ask here again.
Yes using an older device is nice. If you like to tinker a bit there are even older eInk devices that can be unlocked so maybe finding which one and getting it 2-hand could be an interesting adventure.
