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 hope this place grows quite a bit so all these boomer memes and you boomers get fucking shat on every time you post, and no one has to see this horrible, dated form of "comedy" anymore because you'll be too scared to post anymore.

I mean both are great in concept, but man are some folks insufferable to talk to regarding both. Ubuntu, part time vegetarian...

What does part time vegetarian mean? Either you go full vegan or you belong in the trash and the reason why earth is dying. Dont take veganism lightly and respect us for we are your savior and the beacon of light for humanity.

Bacon of light? Seems kinda odd but if it tastes good who am I to judge

I don't know what you say, but as a debian omnivore most people don't notice either.

You know, because the computer just works, looks a little different, kinda like a mac on top, but free, and powerful and stable under the hood.

See I value practicality and reliability, and also ease of use.

This applies to meals as well.

Sure I'll go vegan if I can, get free range stuff when I can afford it, but I'm not made of money and infinite free time, as one would have to be to be a morally consistent vegan.

Obviously I'm vegan so it's not that wired I start a conversation with btw
