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.

Touch screens on linux? (lemmy.world)

I was daily driving Pop_OS before my System76 finally gave it up. I mostly enjoyed the experience, but when my laptop gave it up, I had to run to a big box store and grab a replacement asap. I'm now riding an HP envy touch screen fliptop and (:puke:) windows 11.

I've been hesitant to throw linux onto this puppy because frankly, having never had a touch/ flip screen before, I'm really digging it. Has anyone here run linux on a touch screeen? Issues? A specific release I should consider? Any other considerations?
