Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!
(upload.wikimedia.org)
I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I would recommend using Fedora Linux distribution, as I got the best battery life on it and didn't experience any additional bugs. If you don't like GNOME, you can try spins.

If I ever have to ditch my iphone for a different device OS, I'll definitely play around with the Linux distros made for phones. Like, lineageOS looks so cool!
LineageOS is an Android distro
Android is, or at least started as, a Linux kernel. I'm not sure where it sits relative to Linux today.
Uses the Linux kernel but there are real Linux distros for certain phones now (though in Beta)
The OS we use on computers and servers was originally called GNU, from GNU project. Linux is one program GNU systems uses, the kernel that communicate with hardware, manage memory and more. But Linux kernel stick.
Most people now call it Linux and Linux kernel. Android only has Linux kernel, an important piece of the system but only one and not the one that user directly interact with.
Didn't know that! Live and learn.
It really is, some apps don't like that it does not have Google play services, but the rest is awesome.
