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.

Hello! I've got 2 alcatel 1T7 tablets completely for free from my internet provider some time ago, didn't use them at all because the thing is lighter than a rasppi. Want to tinker on it now, thinking of installing a linux OS for more freedom on what to do and also to degooglify the tablet. Any recommendations on OS selection?

It runs amd32 chip, ARM Cortex-A7
