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.

You aren't meant to use it on the small screen. We have increasingly powerful computers in our pockets that we use to watch TikTok, wouldn't be nice if you didn't have to buy a laptop/desktop for school/work and could just dock your phone and have a full desktop experience?
You could already do that with a lot of use-cases, but we can't yet fully utilize the power of our phones when docked.
