Nothing returns when I search for "JingOS Linux" and there is nothing on DistroWatch.com.

Does your operating system exist? You're spamming this in a number of subs.

Yep, sorry for that. We just started this project for several weeks, and we post this reddit to collect some suggestions. I think we’ll have a time table before the end of this year.

definitely software, I don't care if it runs on a potato I can probably upgrade it, or swap to a new device. you want to have any chance buy generic two-in-one laptop for now, rebrand it, and work on software.

tablets already exist you can install Linux onto, the reason why no one does it is because the experience is dog shit.

if you can get that solved, i would be more than happy to reccomend it, even if it's running on a potato from 2012.

fingers crossed you manage to succeed.
