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.

Just ordered a cheap Nord N100 should arrive soon, just for purpose of testing/running UT. Tried UT little over a year ago, as someone else mentioned the VoLTE is/was a full stopper in USA, which sounds like progress made(?) based on user comments
I'll work around loss of apps, for example banking app if I have a good browser. Sure, more painful but I only need that in a pinch. Same for many other missing apps
Build around a solid browser experience I think would ease the transition, for people like myself who are slowly heading toward a more "dumb phone" experience and back to PC/laptop for most needs. I am likely a minority there though
Looks like uWolf browser and a new one (to me) called Merezhyvo Browser are having good success
In any case, look forward to seeing how it goes this time around :)
