It's my favorite linux distro https://www.debian.org/ One of the best parts about installing it on the Nspire is that you have access to vast amounts of programs in the debian repos

I know Linux is an operating system, but I don't know what it is or what it's used for

Linux is an operating system kernel, it still needs userspace programs to run, like a shell, GUI, and other programs. A distro is a collection of userspace programs combined with linux to make a full operating system.

In comparison, Windows and Mac OS are also operating systems. It's just that most Linux distributions are free of charge and open-source. Some are less graphical and arguably less user-friendly, while others have a standard UI. Some are pretty lightweight and more stable than Windows too, plus I don't recall any old version of Windows that can run on an ARM processor.

Followed the instructions, got it to work. Tried to install i3 window manager, did not get it to work. :|
Anyways this is pretty cool. I have about a 20% success rate in booting, the rest results in kernel panics and stuff but that might be my USB + adapter ;)
The only thing that I did not get to work is the start_usb.ll2 thing. I tihnk it's my ndless.cfg file. Could you upload yours? Thanks :D (because that will save me a ton of typing every time)

Installing it on a normal PC is getting easier each day though. Most recent machines are able to run OSX with almost no compatibility issues. :) (I originally planned to dual boot OSX and Windows when I started thinking about a gaming PC but then I found out about Arch Linux which is so much better than Ubuntu and went with it as my main OS <3)
