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.

TBH, Australia is a bit of a mess, we used to use AS923, but we now use AU915, a lot of gateways are older (AS923), and some are newer (AU915), however AU915 is allowed to use more power, and AS923 is weaker.
As for my experience, I had to buy a gateway for my house, but a train station near my workplace already had a gateway professionally setup, and my university has a gateway too. So anywhere I'd usually take my backpack has coverage.
You can use a service called TTN Mapper to see the gateways near you with a heatmap to show their coverage.
I've also just left a comment on the Traccar forums with some useful info regarding the T1000.
