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.

Did you had any troubles with the hardware? Did the touchscreen work out of the box and which OS?
The only things that aren't working out of box are autorotating the screen and when the device boots up it seems to want to display the login screen on a screen other than the default. A simple closing the lid, waiting for it to sleep and reopening the screen fixes this. Or if you have an external monitor it'll output there by default. I feel like the latter could easily be fixed as it feels like I need to default it do the correct screen and I suspect it's picking up the touch screen device as the display... It shows up on the battery settings as a display with a discharging battery for some reason. The auto rotating doesn't bother me... I prefer having explicit control of the rotation for my needs.
