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.

Well i just saw the remarkable 2. I liked how it workes at feels. But im concerned for the update abillity, like the software support, and the abillity to decide what data is send and so on. Im a noob for Linux, i use fedora on my laptop, and thats it. So yir Pinenote isnt for me,because im not that good in linux development. What is the linux community thoughts on the remarkable 2 (as far as i know, its based on Linux) or are there good alternatives out there? I want to use it for note taking and reading pdf..

The Remarkable 2 is fantastic. You can ssh into it, and scp from it. There are some filesystem layout quirks, but it's good. Peerless writing experience. Great battery. Plenty storage. Large screen. No backlight, sadly. Good for

taking notes
reading & annotating PDFs
reading technical books, with illustrations and diagrams
reading graphic novels

Not so good for reading for pleasure, like fiction. It's too big. It's best for active reading and writing.

I have a Kobo Aura H2O for recreational reading and travel. Massive memory and an SD expansion slot. Backlight. Pretty indestructible, I read it in the jacuzzi.
