From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A new Linux user posting an anti Linux meme on a Linux community, on Lemmy. Well, I wish I had a tenth of your courage.
I do hope they go easy on you, brave soul.
Mandatory "I use arch btw..."
I used to use Arch but I never bothered to make a script that gets everything the way I want after a clean install and my Nvidia drivers borked btw
I do hold my breath whenever I see
nvidia-dkmsin the list of pacman updates. It's good to get some thrills, just to feel alive.
