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.

What's the deal with these slop-y Linux tutorial "blogs"? (slrpnk.net)

In the recent days I've been stumbling upon weird, new ~~so-called "AI"~~ Mathy-math-slop sites, like linuxv*x.com[^1]. Some other was called something like "tutorialsipedia", or whatever.

[^1]: Don't want to give them the traffic.

Have you noticed these? Is that some weird new Startup that wants to leverage CEO and "AI"? I'd use them, but my eyes glaze off the page. It's like a drop on a Lotus leaf and I can't really read that garbage. What's up with those?

Welcome to the year of the linux desktop. Now solving linux problems is big business!

What you’re saying about drops on a lotus leaf hits though. There’s something weird about the prose on those sites that’s significantly different than even ai text I’ve made at home on my own hardware.

Sometimes it feels like the opposite of meditation where I can feel something tugging “up” in the top center of my skull when “reading” one of those pages but don’t remember what the page was about.

This is your brain on slop.
