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 have a N150 mini PC running F42 (KDE), it runs basically perfectly. N150 is a pretty new CPU so you will need a recent kernel, and F42 already using 6.14, so it is fine (just don't run Debian on it).
However the only thing that worries me is the battery of that tablet. The N150 use around 10-20W under load, and with the 25WHr battery, it probably going to latest around 1 to 2 hours only.
I thought the N150 was supposed to be really low power?
During idle (or very low load) yes (5-10W), but not under load (watching video, web browsing, etc).
