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.

It's just a shame there was all the allegations of them not honouring refunds. They would have to work very hard for me to even buy one of their products and I was originally quite keen. Pinephone delivered what I ordered. I would have much more trust for them.

I asked for a refund when they kept delaying shipment of my Librem 5. I was simply denied and that was it. They told me I could still choose to receive the phone, but I don't want it since it's a bad, practically useless product now.

I reported them in my country for it.

I think that's an american thing. Besides, that money is long gone since I made the purchase several years ago.

Allegations are real. It took them about a year to give me mine, and I only got ~60% back
