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.

It can be just as well my memory telling me that G1 was worse than it actually was 😉
My, possibly unpopular, opinion about PinePhone's hardware is that it's more than fine, its just us that are wasting resources left and right. Sure, SXMO works like a charm, but one could say that it's because of how minimalistic it is. But try flashing SailfishOS (unfortunately not fully OSS) and see how snappy and fluid it is - and it's not short of animations in its UI. Heck, even Ubuntu Touch is pretty performant!
