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.

This is the link to the image. It has 3.8mb. In my opinion that is way too much.

It's 5120 px wide. Is this necessary?

That's a question for a web developer, which I am not. I would expect it to be the max common resolution width. A quick Google shows that modern ultrawides are 5120x1440. So that's probably why.

So if you are not a cook, you can't answer questions about food taste?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean, I took a guess. I don't know what you want from me.

I want you to laugh at my joke question.
