I can't find very definitive answer about the OS they're running. The seem to be using a Linux kernel, just like all the Android devices, but beyond that it's not clear what's running on it. It doesn't seem closer to Debian than your regular Android device. I vaguely remember someone posting a hack to install something like Debian on a "ReMarkable" tablet (a search for "installing debian on a remarkable tablet" might get you somewhere), but IIRC it was very much "proof of concept" rather than something usable. Of course, you can also take a regular Android device and install a normal GNU/Linux distro on it. The success depends mostly on how well that tablet's hardware is supported by the vanilla Linux kernel. There are some tablets sold directly with some GNU/Linux support, but they're rare. I know of: - [PineNote](https://pine64.org/devices/pinenote/). - [Librem 11](https://puri.sm/products/librem-11/). It's closer to a laptop than to an e-book reader, tho. - [Framework 12](https://frame.work/ca/en/laptop12). This one is a laptop, but can be used as a tablet. Both come from companies whose ethics seem a lot better aligned with Free Software than your regular tech company, so buying their products encourages further development in a more friendly direction.
