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.

For the uninitiated, who's Mark Rober?

LDS former NASA engineer that makes silly devices and gadgets. Some interesting videos, though he's big into the clickbait game. Seems at least relatively sincere in his push for encouraging interest in STEM with children, though he can be a bit "flash over substance" for my tastes. But he is better then a lot of others I've seen in that regard.

In the rock paper scissor robot video he went full mr beast. Good channel going down drain.

Yea, was a huge fan back in the glitter bomb days, but now his videos are.. boring. He needs to go back to his maker/engineer roots, IMO. On-the-bench projects.
