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.

I've done some reading: They seem to just be shipping preconfigured linux installations(ubuntu), and thats one of their big selling points. I personally don't agree with this, because the tinkering is one of the big things for me. They don't seem to advertise anything besides Linux or Linux-related things. It's a cool idea, but I don't recommend paying any extra money for them to preinstall Ubuntu(which has been known to have telemetry). All the software seems to be available in all the major repos, so compatibility should be fine in other distros. But from a hardware perspective it looks like a great deal!
