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.

Noone told me about systemctl suspend. I had to accidently learn about it from the arch pages. My battery is happy now, and you all will never be forgiven for your silence. That is all. (wiki.archlinux.org)

They have wasted so much time talking shiz about a system they did not want to understand

You write "engineers with decades of skill pointing out obvious and blatant fundamental problems with the design and scope that first-year comp sci students would be corrected for" weird. It may require experience to spot the difference, though.

Ah. There you are, old friend. I've been expecting you.
