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.

Nice. ARM makes a lot if sense for energy efficiency. Would love to see it on a more budget and low-end device though

Orange pi zero 3 is arm-based and can be really viable for daily usage if you are into tinkering.

Orange Pi is not open-source and is designed in China. Kinda suspicious this one
