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.

I just found out that what I pictured was EndeavourOS was ElementaryOS. I was so confused with the Endeavor recommendations because i thought it was based on Ubuntu 💀
Ahhhh more I gotta at least check out EndeavourOS now x_X
Your username is spinning me out. We always ask our cat if he’d like to “Eat da feesh” when we feed him any fish tins or treats, and we spell it just like that when we message each other to say he’s been fed too haha.
…Milo, is that you? 🐈⬛
It matters not where I am but if I am fed. I require sustenance human.
