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.

As. Someone who is incredibly poor and use my current fire stick as a way to help me because of accessibility for my disabilities. Does anybody know if there's a alternative to Chromecast, fire stick or Roku that doesn't involve another computer (which I could get a raspberry pi or another computer dedicated to media, but government doesn't believe in giving disabled people enough for those things)
technically miracast: https://www.tcl.com/global/en/blog/tips/miracast-android-phone-to-the-living-room-tv#:~:text=Miracast%20is%20a%20wireless%20technology,or%20any%20other%20wireless%20connection.
Thanks, captain Obvious. :-D
Instead of subscribing to whatever streaming services you're using roku for, you could be streaming everything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/
Use the money you save to buy a raspberry pi and wireless keyboard+mouse combo then you're off to the races.
I don't pay for my streaming services. My mom who is barley surviving too and others pay for it. Had no choice really. Sense I have zero income it's hard to save up. (been battling the government for nearly 6 year's to get SSI or anything to help )
You always have a choice when it comes to entertainment, especially digital.
Tell your mom who is barely surviving that she can stream more things for free than what she's getting with her subscriptions.
Spread the love.
