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.

Finished this gem for the first time a while ago. Honestly if there was ever a timeless game this one is it.

Love to know if portal 2007 is inspiration for neofetch 2015 or what was it

[–] andrewth09 46 points 4 months ago (1 children)

TIL neofetch came out in 2015. I just assumed it was one of those packages that existed since the dawn of computers

Wasn't it fetch before that?

Screenfetch :)

God that ages me.

No way it's Microsoft neofetch

Funny I run across this after me and my kid had a long conversation about GLaDOS being an inspiration for The Absolute Solver from Murder Drones. (I say she is.)

I still replay both every few years; finished Portal 2’s co-op with the kiddo earlier this year.

You should give portal reloaded a go. They just released co op mode. Its not an official portal game but it feels like one.
