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.

Sorry I don't have jerboa so I can't test this myself, but definitely let the dev know! I'm sure they would appreciate the bug report.

Damn, all this nix hype has me wanting to jump off of my Kinoite install. Maybe it's time to dust off my old nix config I've tucked away. Found a new Youtube sub too. Thanks OP!

Maybe. If you decide so, welcome back!
