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.

ugh... having been involved with a coupla hardware businesses, asking the public what they think about a future product ~~is hella stupid~~ and then basing your decision on that is hella stupid. especially when you're a minor player with few options available and a history of ~~scamming clients~~ not being china-supply-chain-savvy. out of all them questions, the only ones I'd find useful is the geo distribution.
as to the product itself, jolla is on my shit list on account of taking from the FOSS world and giving dick back; their "community version" for xperias exclusively and paid licenses can get fucked.
