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.

Xiaomi Pad 6 is a good price and is compatible with plenty of custom roms. Some people don't trust them because it's a Chinese brand, but I figure the odds are about the same that it's got hardware level spying as a Google or Microsoft tablet. At least it's easy to root or reformat.
