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.

If I wasn't interested in drawing and wanted a GNU/Linux tablet, I would buy Pinetab 2.
I really want to love my PineTab 2 and I'm hoping for kernel updates to unlock more hardware potential. The Wi-Fi doesn't work at all in my experience and the touchscreen feels very cheap (usually must tap my finger several times before it registers the touch).
Ah, but I got a surface pro 4 i5, 8gb, for £90. With keycase and charger. I was looking at a pinetab 2, but it would have run me a bit more than that....
