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.

Few posts down I wrote two replies to some questions. This is also correct. They don't phase out your network. They alter it. You will still have 4G and 5G it's simply that we are still playing with the frequency bands for each tower and transmitter type. As we try to nail down the best functioning wave lengths. Your internet should relatively function the same and I say relatively loosely. For better or worse. Those bands 4g and 5g are not leaving, they just get altered.
We keep a standard set of bands like n71 and a handful of others. But there's also many more inside your cellular chipset that change each model. Which means it's possible your service could be more or less spotty. Depending on phone model, carrier, and location.
