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 started using Plasma for a server I set up last weekend and it's going great. Widgets are nice (although enterinh/exiting edit mode feels a little janky-- is the mode tracked separately for the desktop and for containers like the top bar?), I even added one to display my external IP in the top bar of my server. The one for displaying the internal IP is broken, though :(
