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've got these things locally available in the $50-60 range. This being a generic brand, I imagine a buncha those are available globally. Anyone tried 'em, do they work OK with modern desktops (gnome, plasma)? Touch? DP-Alt or are they DisplayLink? Do they have PD?

Sellers are helpful nada, same with youtube videos, just marketing fluff.

I don’t think I’d want something larger than like 9" at most for something like that. Unless maybe you have it most of the time in screensaver with a photo slideshow. Then it would be pretty cool. Like a photo frame but when you tap it becomes an interface for smart home controls.
