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’m sitting here in 2026 runnin Fedora 43 on a laptop from 2016, and honestly? It’s smoother than it has any right to be. My entire workflow lives in Brave and Obsidian, and this "old" i5 handles it like a champ. There is something deeply satisfying about taking a "boring" enterprise machine, slapping GNOME on it, and watching it run circles around modern hardware,It’s actually fuckin depressing that a 10-year-old laptop has better utility than 99% of the "pro" hardware being sold today.have a native Ethernet port and a full SD slot. Imagine that shit No $60 Amazon adapters dangling off the side like life support just to get a stable connection 🙄that's what I call good hardware built to last.#r/Linuxmasterrace

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law.

Dunno why you're getting down-voted, this song fits perfectly.

I mean, it is some carbrain propaganda that aligned with the government-approved destruction of walkable cities and public transit. Soo it is kind to a hymn to enshittification in its own way.
