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.

Thank you! Sorry for the cloud error, the server's origin website is hosted in my country Iran, which is currently in a semi-blackout and very bad internet distruptions. Very sad.

You might see the blog if you try a couple times more, I can see it with most VPNs.

I completely agree with your points. I'm stating the same sentiment in the blog.

I prefer GUIs for two things:

Things that are inherently graphical (gimp, blender, etc)
Things that I don't use very often, and the GUI is too simple to be bothered with a cli.
