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.

Oh! 😅
I don't even know what post I thought I was commenting on, or how I wound up here.
Glad to see I didn't make an ass of myself
In this post, anyways
I enjoy that I came in after the fact, and I too was confused like wallmenis, but got to instantly get further context. Don't know why, just gave me a small chuckle
I woke up to so many notifications...
