Linux

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.

There were basically three big tech guys I remember from my younger years.

LTT, who’s not bad. Not a Linux guy, but I don’t hold that against him. Also kinda late to the party, but only cause he’s around my age.

Chris Pirillo, who kinda disappeared for a while, but now makes great YouTube content.

Then there’s Lunduke. What an asshole. I tried to watch one of his Linux Sucks videos last year and it was just boring and really dumb takes over and over. I didn’t even know he’s a right wing conspiracy theorist.
