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.

No, no, this is the peak OS installation menu:
😜
Oh hey, I remember that screen. I have seen it many times. Many, many times. Oh God, so many times.
So, just to clarify, you’ve seen it many times?
It needed many reinstalls! So yes, many times, indeed.
Still more than you remember
Ironically, this one is better designed than their current one lmao.
I was genuinely about to say how the openSUSE installer looks incredibly similar to the Windows XP one
There you go, peasants.
Everyone is nostalgic to XP so they decide to make part of a different operating system look very similar to it just for nostalgia sake
Isn't that ReactOS? :P
I completely forgot that even existed. This reply is now a downvote farm.
This one is second not OpenSUSE is still the best for me XD
Another old school, it's very similar
