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.

Minisforum V3 is 12” and less than 1kg.
But it is not quite a laptop, expensive and very powerful - not sure if that suits you.
Linux wise, most of the stuff works (sleep, power profiles, volume buttons, fingerprint reader, face recognition, pen, touchscreen). Things that don't work are automatic rotate/accelerometer.
I'm super happy with it, running arch, doing development and using VMs.
Thanks. I've tried tablets and still prefer laptop form factor.
