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.

The issues with the touchscreen seems to be a common issue with Linux tablets in general, in my personal experience, sadly.

Does this also include the tablets made for Linux like Pinetab?

No, as I have not used any of those. This is my experience with cheap windows tablets turned into Linux tablets... much like taking a Surface 4 and putting Linux on it. Usually everything works great but the touchscreen is wonky, that's all.
