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.

Add 2 more full versions and it might crash your towers. 😅

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The kernel 6.6.6 version number delighted many a black-clad open source fan, but not for long.

At the end of October, Linux version 6.6 came out, and just over a couple of weeks later, it became the latest long-term supported release.

The same problem affected release 6.6.5, and just as in the older stable kernel series, the change was removed again the following working day.

Monday (December 11) saw the release of the satanically significant kernel 6.6.6, backing out just that single change from the previous version.

But now comes the bad news for all the spooky kids out there: the kernel bearing the Mark of the Beast didn't last long at all.

With such a short window of opportunity, it's no wonder there wasn't an update and re-release of Ubuntu Satanic Edition.
