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.

@data1701d It will work fine with Debian Bookworm, not sure about older releases, I don't know at what point they switched to systemd controlling that but definitely does work in Bookworm. It should work in most other modern Debian or Ubuntu derived systems as well, but not older versions as systemd taking over this functionality is relatively recent.
