Is it possible for the user to choose which linux distro to use?
Does the extension only use the "public" internal storage (the part that is mounted on the computer) and is it possible to remove what was installed easily?

Sorry,I don't have mobile phone.So I can't record video.
Now,you can select Alpine Linux or Ubuntu 14.04 in this extensions.But Ubuntu14.04 has many bugs.
The extension not only use the "public" internal storage.It uses "/etc/" folder in Kindle because the extension needs to copy the kindle's configuration to the Linux system.

i found that the alpine edge container has the wrong architecture - armhf instead of armv7

if you take a look at alpine's repositories, however, you will see that there are less armhf packages than armv7 (for example telegram-desktop)

Are you sure that you download the file successfully?If you download it successfully,try press 'n' then press Enter when it show "unzip:bad lenght".Then try start gui again.
Hope it can help you!
