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.

This looks great and seems very reasonably priced. Pretty sure it won't replace my Android tablet but it might tempt me into trying.

Coreboot too

Hm, I'm interested, although I've gotten by just fine running Linux on my old Surface Pro 3

I'm running endeavour os on a Lenovo duet 3. It's fully functional including the gyroscope, which is super damn amazing. Windows basically wouldn't run, but I feel like a super user when in using endeavor on it. It's so good.

Does the keyboard work while detached? When I travel, I like to plug the laptop into the TV and control it from across the room with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It would be nice not to have to pack a separate keyboard.

If it follows the Surface design, it doesn't. Surface's keyboard has no battery and no other connector than the proprietary surface pogo pins, so no way to make it work wirelessly.

Oh cool. Glad it's not ARM. Way more distro options.
