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.

Yeah probably, but it's necessary to remove them if you want your machine to stay in good conditions for the next years, even more important when it's running 24/7.
I know, that's why I'm opening it and why it is going to the basement. It's basically a concrete bunker at a constant 50°f with no windows and just a filtered radon extraction unit. There are cans sitting there since the COVID lockdown that still have no dust on them. The closet it is in now has carpet. Enough said.
EDIT: It was shockingly clean. Some dust and cobwebs, but very little.
At a 50°F ambient temperature the fan probably doesn't have to move all too much air all too often.
That's the idea, but that's where it is going. It was in the upstairs closet where the temps are kept at human comfort levels (68-78).
