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.

Wow, if I'd known this would be a whole-ass university education, I wouldn't have bought dishes OR that hammer. While that executable does its thing, can you tell me what degrees specifically I can earn with you and how long they take on average? Are you certified in EU countries? Will I be qualified to hammer dishes in Germany? Plates AND mugs? What about hammering windows? Those need a clean too, now that I look at them.
Edit: Speaking of windows, does your course teach how to use a hammer to switch from Windows to Linux?
Oh no, thank you for your intetest in our course, unfortunately we're ransomware and not a University. Haha.
Plz send butcoin to 0x2fa4u8008 or i delete you computer
You'll be pleased to hear that you can't do that because I'm in the EU. So there.
Ahhh! Laws, my only weakness...
