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.

Pfft Linux can't even deal with a bit of rain. This is why I use my abacus.
Look at this fancy guy using an abacus. Everyone knows the superior way is to harness your own mind as your computer.
If only I could get some spice.
I'm simply using Brain and Brain++ compilers to build and run ideas. Plus you can overclock your own neurons
Can't trust digital computers. I'm using my mechanical calculator for gaming. Just add a wheel, divide by 0, and you'll be playing Farming sim in no time.
If you ever finish a speedrun of Super Mario Bros on mechanical calculator you should share the results
