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.

Be careful: This has a keylogger with sudo access underneath (which the developer openly says, so it's nothing nefarious, just something to be aware of).

Well spotted, thanks.

Every day we stray further from god. I wonder if it could be used to make the worlds worst VNC server...

Now run this htop on a kitchen scale that itself is virtual and made from red stone.

Now someone port doom to Dolphin or GIMP

I have no idea what that will even look like, but if I say it's not possible, I will be wrong.

I totally love these 'lets run X on this completely unrelated Y' projects, and nested projects like running emulators in simulators etc. Nerds for the world!!
