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.

Had one from the start and also had a reMarkable 1, 2, Pro and e-readers with e-ink. I did discuss all that before so feel free to check my comment history. You can also check related prorotypes at https://fabien.benetou.fr/Tools/Eink including for the PineNote.
Now on your questions :
Last time I check it didn't run well enough (basically CLI only) so I'm still on their stock Android OS. Worked great. According to other comments it seems fine now and I'm familiar with
KOReaderand a bitXournal++so I'll try again.Easy, I didn't do anything ;)
Well in my case yes but again Android, so if you are familiar with it, e.g.
adbthen it's easy.Fine but power management kind of sucks so it will not go to sleep properly and thus waste battery. It's also heavy so honestly I wouldn't travel with it.
Again, I did share on Lemmy quite a bit. I do warmly recommend it if you are a tinkerer who doesn't travel too often. If you are a minimalist who wants to get things done then IMHO reMarkable is better.
