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.

Man that's a hard sell when the starlite is going for $627 https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite

$70 cheaper with better specs is a no brainer

Anyone using this? How is it?

I use it. Its not great. The touchscreen will freeze randomly requiring a reboot. Sometimes just a reboot isn't enough. U have to unplug it, shut down, then it'll work. Its good otherwise. I can run 100 minecraft mods just fine
