That's pretty exciting. It has been possible to run Debian on Kindles via Chroot [0] for a while, but those things run decade-old kernels at this point, making many things impossible. Getting a current kernel and fully free system is super cool! On that note: The Linux system Kindles run is pretty cool: It uses X, dbus, Awesome (window manager), Upstart and contains a lot of not only not obfuscated, but commented javascript and shell scripts. It's fun to dig around and will even run simple Linux tools like Rclone and Syncthing, making it a breeze to integrate into your existing systems (for instance I used to listen on the outOfScreenSaver dbus event to run an update script) [1]! The main issue I encountered is that my Kindle Touch doesn't support TLS 1.3, but the relevant library should be updateable. If you are interested in modifying these cool devices, have a look at the MobileRead forums [2], a vibrant little community around that exact topic (mostly focusing on Kobo/Tolino and Kindle).
