GNU/Linux on the Microsoft Surface Go

Interestingly, the best GNU/Linux tablet is actually made by Microsoft. The Surface Go (first generation) is a tablet released in 2018. The performance is nothing amazing, but unlike most tablets, you can actually make use of the performance it does have; it doesn't feel slow for normal tablet tasks either. Besides that, it has a 10" screen, front and back cameras, a kickstand, stylus support and a detachable keyboard — but the latter two are sold separately.

There are no beginner GNU/Linux distributions

I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use Mint or Ubuntu, you're not a real GNU/Linux user.

A Reason to Call it GNU/Linux

Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like kernel, and it does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like one.

Cheap, homemade NAS with Raspberry Pi

This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it. And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.
