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.

last year when I went back to Arch from Manjaro, I made a critical error. I'm not sure if I was just tired when partitioning things off or what. but I made my root only 20GB instead of the 50 that I had intended. I know in a lot use cases that'll be fine, but in mine, not so much. with steam compat taking up 1-2gb and keeping one version of pacman cache, I'm constantly getting the redline warning.

Tonight I plan on booting to live and resize my luks drive and hopefully not fuck it. and if I do? oh well...Timeshift will hopefully save me.
