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 love plasma and I love this blog. I've been using Linux for almost 7 years now, 6 of them are plasma (and two of them are EndeavourOS 🤭). I just can't leave. Thank you to all those who work on it. You all are true heroes. <3

Love your enthusiasm. Your comment feels like it was just written with the most positive attitude straight from the heart. I wish to carry that energy with me through the rest of my day :)

This is so great! GNOME will finally be usable if it cannot break Dolphin and Kate anymore!
