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 can't figure swip texting lol. The perk of physical keys is I don't have to even look at the phone to type. I can turn text-speech on use the bumps on the keyboard
It’s easy.
So if you wanted to write the word sandwich.
You put your finger over s and then drag to a, n, d, w, I, c, h. You can do it quite fast and don’t have to be precise.
I swipe type without looking at the keys.
