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.

It is fragmented.
The PostMarketOS community is active, but more importantly, there is a ton of wiki info not only on installing, but figuring out drivers, info on partition slots, etc. Armbian is another place to read.
The other thing to learn about is the DEs, specifically phosh, gnome mobile, plasma mobile, xmso, lomiri, etc. They all behave differently, so you'll want to check out each one to see if you lean more one way or the other.
Good luck. May your journey be better than mine.
