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.

If I have to list a single thing that most irritates me on Linux then it is easily copying files to a USB connected drive.

The progress bar passes 100% and I get notification the files were copied but they were in fact not copied yet, it still takes several more minutes until I can actually unplug the connected drive or I'll lose the files.

I run udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdX# in the terminal. When it completes, it means the files have finished copying and the partition was unmounted.

I'll give that a try next time I'll need to copy something, thanks

Our just run sync, which isn't as completely foolproof, but is easy.

For some reason my computer lags a lot but that might be because I have way too many tabs.

iTunes is probably the biggest, people with iDevices have a harder time with GNU/Linux
