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.

nearly your entire system is written in C and you're worried about a simple fetch program

Did C ever generate bloated or insecure stuff for you? I had a completely different experience so I'm curious.

lmao re-writing screenfetch in rust to avoid undefined behaviour is peak rust.

I don't want to check github because I'm sure dozens of these will exist!
