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.

Which convertible / tablet can you guys recommend?

I am looking for a replacement for my laptop.

It should run smooth. I don't run games on it. It's for writing prose and analysis with vscodium.

Microsoft surface go?

There is starlite tab if you like . If you are going Surface , you would have to check the surface kernel.

This. The good thing about a purpose-built linux tablet is all the accessories (wifi, webcams, etc) will work.
