I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Can't wait for it.

I guess we have to wait for Ubuntu touch to become a thing then flow along with it.

But if it's made in canonical, it will be Amazon spyware. So if I'm going to be spied anyway Id continue to use android as their spyware provide real services (like Google maps, gmail or translate)

Firefox os is dead...

I'm running it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. With my stylus hovering over the screen I can move the mouse pointer. Tapping the screen clicks left mouse button. Thats good enough for me so I haven't tried using bluetooth input devices.
A good idea is installing hacker keyboard app so you can have the full range of character keys.

Or do what this guy does and just use your phone as a desktop computer.
