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.

Pine phone is a nice gadget but I don't think they contribute to software development as much as Purism does. Not that I recommend buying anything from Purism because of their business practices.
What's wrong about that to you? I've a laptop and a phone from them and I'm happy with them.

I know better than that.
I got my phone after 5 years of waiting too, it's a nice paperweight. I power it on twice a year, do a full update, play for an hour and put it back in the drawer.
Same. I was fine supporting the effort but it isn't a replacement.
