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.

Good luck preparing for exams without a PC and also not touch a smartphone in a timespan of 10 months...
I don't recall saying anything about smartphone?
I feel like you might be cutting out the wrong device if the goal is to limit distractions.
Ya for real. I use my Linux Surface as a replacement for my phone because everything about my phone is built to distract me and keep my attention.
I can't realistically cut off my phone entirely but reduce the number of apps installed. I currently have only Firefox, Spotify, Proton Mail and Whatsapp which could distract me. Rest is utility apps like maps, calculator, messages etc.
how do you even do your assignments without a pc/notebook?
How is that better
If your phone is android its still Linux. Even if its not its still a personal computer.
It doesnt matter in this case
