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.

I really wonder when there will be Linux for the Google Pixel Tablet. Its very secure, GrapheneOS is already there. But Android is a shitty tablet OS, Firefox is not optimized at all, leave alone
Many other apps work greatly though.
Its simply a bad experience compared to an ipad, while KDE or GNOME are probably great.
I haven't ever tried to root an android device and Linuxify it before. Now I am curious. I use Linux at work but I am no greybeard and that task sounds like something suited for someone with a little more crust than myself.
