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.

Have you met people? They're the worst.
Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.
Lots of non-normative folk like Linux. Far as I know there was just a spree of posts showing btop and thigh highs and it went from there
Not enough plaid skirt IMO
Reppin argyle socks instead of the classic striped, hell yeah.
Had to borrow from my wife :D lol
You have been acquitted🤪
I don't like it. But maybe that is just me.
as a 43 year old balding man, yeah - I get that. I did it for the lolz
The Linux socks thing was odd until you showed up, thanks bbg
It was a bold move cotton, and it paid off
Happy cake day homie, if I don't see your hairy ass legs and socks every week from now on, I'll cry
Every week? Dang, I uh... I'm flattered! I'm just not sure that I can keep up with that type of commitment. 😅
Only time will tell
Revenue stream unlocked haha
Yay! 🎉✨
bash: yay: inaccessible or not found
lol
Let me know if you figure out how to get UO working on Wine. I have to use the online client.
Ultima Outlands is the way to go! Here's how to get it going: https://wiki.uooutlands.com/Install_UO_on_Linux
Came here for the wallpaper, saved this reply for the link. I had considered running my own server a while back to be able to play again.
There's a blast from the past; it has to be 30 years since I played UO.
It's free to play with that link! Outlands is like you remember, plus end game
I thought the toe and heel pads were holes at first.
Same. Thought, "Finally, one of my people."
same
Happy for you! Nice wallpaper btw!
Sick wallpaper and good distro taste.
Ultima Online! I stared at that art for days!
It's still one of my favorites!
Is this a fresh install and sitting at 10gb ram? Seems like a lot.
I had Discord, and AnvilToolkit running, along with update on a separate terminal :D
That rams not gonna use itself.
My truenas server agrees.
FC42 is on kernel 6.14.11 for stable, this rig is still on .0 for some reason.
Something is not right.
2.4k packages as well, or is that normal on fedora?
What did you do to get the nice terminal output with the colour display and fedora ASCII art? Just a copy+paste in bashrc?
Looks like neofetch, still gets a lot of use even if it's archived
Thanks!
expected arch setup and a skirt as a cherry on top XD but fedora is pretty kewl too
Even the boxes are smiling!
