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've recently decided to just focus on turning my OG pinephone into a mobile hotspot (and maybe running some remote services on it eventually). It's booting postmarketos but just to a login shell. I ssh into it from the usb tether if I need to make changes. It's working pretty well but sometimes after several hours the modem drops off the mobile network and I can't get it to reconnect even by hard power cycling. The next day when I pull it out again it has reconnected and works again.
Couldnt you also just use a WWAN adapter? I dont know what Laptops have that.
I'm sure I could but then what would I use my pinephone for? :)
Tor server! Always the right answer
Haha, I've actually considered something along those lines. I wonder how Verizon would feel about someone hosting such a server on a phone using their network.
Its not illegal unless its an exit node, and even that works in some cases.
