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 looked into it but everything I've looked up shows that it doesn't really work very well. I remember when Snapdragon laptops first debuted they were showing off Fedora but it doesn't seem much progress has been made since then.

Here's hoping SteamOS for ARM (Steam Frame) makes some headway in this department.
