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.

Linux gaming also taking off. New Jolla phone on the way. Valve is also being helpful. On top of that the 'Buy European' movement also comes at the right time.
I dare to say it's looking pretty good
gotta laugh at people falling for the jolla scam again. i mean it sounds too good to be true and look at what they did last time
I know they're not perfect, but scam? Or are you referencing to the tablet fiasco?
the tablet fiasco, they didn't ship them and they only refunded to a few people. media was not interested in it at all. and the largest shareholder is or at least used to be some russian government entity
I want that for phone but can’t buy it here
