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.

what they said. surfaces are serviceable to a degree (battery and SSD, screen replacement) even though they're glued shut, but in the sense "this is a fun project to do at a leisurely pace", not "I got shit to do with it tomorrow, clock is ticking".
Dells are way more serviceable, they got screws and easily accessible components instead of cement glue from hell. if you're going that way, make sure the camera sensors are supported, ipu3/6 camera support is spotty.
I've done several repairs and battery replacements on various tablets, but as an amateur, I won't touch this one. I'm sure if you crack these things regularly you can get proficient at it, but given the complexity, I'm not sure it's worth the labor.
