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 just use xkill (if on X11) or reboot the system lol
I prefer turning off all the breakers in my house, but whatever floats your boat!
Xkill doesn't kill the process, it just stops showing it to you
I can kill it from htop then. At least xkill removes the annoying window.
Now there is no excuse, Nano users! :)
This is really good.. Just yesterday I had a colleague trying to present something like this in our company and she failed miserably. I'll send her the link to your guide, maybe she'll learn a thing or two.
A URL 'Free up to some-end-date'. ???
Phishing link? 🤔
Why do you think it is a phishing link? Gumroad is a well known platform to sell digital goods.
I mention it is free up to some date because it will go back to being a paid product after that.
I don't. I thought the emoji would have made that clear.
I have been doing cybersecurity awareness lately. We are starting to get over the furst hurdle: make people see the signatures of phishing message. But now we are starting with the 2nd hurdle: make people understand that when they write a genuine post, they should avoid these signatures of phishing, in this case, the "time pressure" argument.
The problem is that the more genuine messages have phising signatures, to more difficult it becomes for people to distinguish a genuine posts from phishing. There is also the risk that you genuine posts will get noted as fake (although that is clearly not the case here :-) )
How would a thinking emoji make it clear your question isn't serious? Also, things have been available for a limited time long before phishing attempts were a thing, and will continue to exist for legitimate purposes long after. You can't expect the entire rest of the world to stop doing something innocuous just because it's also used as a tactic to fool a small subset of inattentive people.
Love it!!
