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.

Fedora on every PC and my Pinebook Pro
Mobian on my Pinephone Pro and Arch on my spare Pinephone
What are your thoughts on the Pinephone? Do you use it regularly or as a daily driver or is it more just a device you tinker with here and there? I've been thinking of getting one for a while but haven't been able to convince myself to pull the trigger, even with how affordable it is.
I daily drive the Pinephone Pro as my second phone. If you like to live on the edge like me, it's for you. Otherwise distros like mobian support sd845 devices like the OnePlus 6 and the experience seems to be overall quite good now. Just keep in mind, it's a small young platform Made mostly by hobbyists, not android and not iOS.
