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.

I'm thinking about getting one and was looking at YouTube videos but none really showed it in use.

Like how keyboard works and all that.

Does anyone here have experience?

Thanks

Can you tell me more about the typing experience of the onscreen keyboard?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I believe it's just the built-in wayland keyboard. It works just fine, but looks a little ugly for my tastes. If an app doesnt automatically bring up the keyboard, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and itll come up

Other than that, its a pretty standard touchscreen keyboard. Youre not gonna be doing any "homerow typing" but its easy enough to use, especially in portrait mode. Landscape is a bit long for my thumbs.
