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.

Again with this? It's only a click bait from an Indian website that specialises in recycling news and tutorials.
Ye, that shit is everywhere, also gaming indian sites that recycle and produce AI slop are popping everywhere like mushrooms. Perhaps the dead internet theory is closer than expected.
All the "5 easy side hustle ideas" videos catching up to us 😩

Bruh, you need a new name. "EU OS" is both terribly bland and super hard to pronounce. I guess they got screwed by EndeavourOS and e/OS already occupying EOS already, but you can do better. Let me try:
EurOS (self-explanatory) Ios (as a play on Io, the mythological ancestor of Europa and, in my humble opinion, a brilliant mocking of iOS) BoIS (Boring Independence System... Why yes, I do like Rust and Arch, how did you know?) PlutOS (Lowest layer, ruler of the underworld, get it? Get it? Okay, it mainly sounds cool.)
IMHO it is at first much more important that the distribution is running well, is safe, and gets the required support so that it can establish itself among the many distros and remains for many many years an entirely European distro! I do not care in the beginning if it is called Donald Duck OS, mc2 Linux or whatever.
In 2004, Munich, Germany led the creation of LiMux and switched the city to that from Windows.
In 2017 they reverted to Windows.
In 2020 they re-asserted the intent to switch to open source.
What’s old is new again.
In 2017 they reverted to Windows.
Of course this has nothing to do with Microsoft moving their Germany headquarters to Munich, flooding the city with corporate tax money.
Obligatory Documentary of that event, including interview with LiMux sysadmin that exposes the back alley deals with Microsoft in Germany.
Must be completely unrelated.
No, it's rage harvesting nonsense.
