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 feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Why stop at Ubuntu if you can try a new distro each month?

Did this for a bit until i learned how to install arch and never looked back

~~I use arch btw~~

There's a lot to explore after arch. We have Gentoo, NixOS, image-based distros like Silverblue. Swappable immutable core through ublue, leading you to bluefin or bazzite. Your journey is far from over

Nah i think it's pretty over... I have tried gentoo, nixos image based distros and all that. Even lfs. I'm quite comfortable with arch
