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 could barely make out the straw man hiding between the ads. The author is working hard for them clicks!

It's 2024, use an adblocker

Why anyone browses the web in 2024 without an adblocker is completely beyond my ability to understand. You get zero sympathy from me.

Yeah, I wonder why the author puts ads on their website in 2024 too.
