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.

My bad: it's tldr not rtfm

Me too I have ~~stupid~~ disputable aliases...

Oh yeah I know about tldr. It's pretty great. I actually use a Rust version of it called teeldeer. I also have a whole lot of "disputable" aliases, for example rtfm for tldr and rtfmp (read the fucking man page) for man. I also use fucking for sudo. There's nothing better than running pacman -Syu, realizing the mistake and then typing in fucking pacman -Syu
