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 thought $500 for only 6GB of ram is really disappointing.
I mean, I use maybe 3-4gb at any given time, without limiting myself. I personally don't need heaps of RAM, 6gb is enough to have some overhead for me.
I haven't looked at too many prices recently, I've had the same phone for a while, but this doesn't seem to unreasonable imo, especially considering this is the first product from a small, new company.
Oh wow 3-4 is great. My current android phone is using 9Gb out of 12. It's insane. I have no idea what's using it all.
I hope that since this phone isn't running android, 6gb will be enough.
It should be. With zram, I can use similar software even on a 2 GB RAM device somewhat comfortably, unless I open too many tabs in Firefox.
