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.

That looks amazing.
... For 2008.
2008 was awesome!
Being on Lemmy sometimes makes me feel like everyone here is old. Y'all talking about the years that I was born in as if it was like yesterday.
You were born in multiple years?
I'd rather not give my birth year in a public post. I was just keeping it vague.
(It's not 2008 btw)
