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'm pretty be to it too, and it's the first and only one I've used for more than a couple hours.

I dumped GNOME immediately, but haven't really felt a need to change anything else and don't really know what else I'd want to, at least not yet.

I got my stuff working, got colors and window decorations sorted out, and got gaming working.

Now I'm just vibing.
