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 see benefit in both tbh. Connected as a fancy monitor to your more powerful PC at home, a thing on it's own on the road. Although I suppose I rather see it use my phone as the rendering/computing device and just be another screen for that.

yeah, of course
I'm just not sure, if the second use case, as I simple monitor, is even possible or it is always a complete stand alone system
