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'd also like to know, is there a way to just turn off this ipv6 trashfire? Preferably in a universal, cross-distro way?
Seems like the most universal way is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash"
Or you could just... learn to use the modern internet that 60% of internet traffic uses? Not everyone has a dedicated IPv4 anymore, we are in the days of mobile networks and CGNAT. IPv4 exhaustion is here today.
Where are you getting 60%? Google's IPv6 Adoption page has it under 50% still:
(while other stats pages from big CDNs show even less)
Huh, I misremembered then. I stand corrected.
Notable though that there are specific countries (such as India) where adoption is far higher at 72%
Dunno why my comment was removed but I remarked that it's either fed to them as scraps or it's in use by scammers and bots.
