Linux

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.

please don't harrass or insult that website, but I recently browsed that website because I wanted to get a wallpaper, but then I realized the top bar was saying "Xenia suggests you get Firefox", wait what?? She wouldn't suggest that first of all, second, this means that the website knows if you are using Google or Firefox, so that can be a harmful addition. I will talk to the owner maybe, that is bad because all browsers can be good!! And that website is really pretty but I dislike that top bar.

Checking if the user is using Firefox is pretty easy:

CSS.supports('(-moz-user-input: none)') // only returns true in FF

Every site sees your UA lol. Dont use Google Chrome. Why would you, use Brave or Ungoogled Chromium if you need to.
