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 is what I'm most excited about. I started using gnome mobile on my OnePlus 6. It's still not there yet but it feels better than phosh, Few more bugs tho. I'm so excited for it and what you mentioned is the future I dream about.
How is hardware support these days on OnePlus 6? I'm close to buying one for Linux but keep waiting thinking that a newer alternative might appear.
Not as good as I hoped. I'd wait. Wifi works, didn't try putting a SIM in yet but the gryo doesn't work so there's no auto rotate and scaling is off. It's either too big or too small. I don't think the GPS works either but I'll have to test it.
