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 run debian sid on a surface go and i love it. my daily driver, and one of my favorite PCs in a very long time.
Awesome. Is it stable (not breaking) experience for you? Debian Unstable anyway 🙂
a little funny since the freeze lifted due to the sheer number of new versions all appearing at once, but nothing is breaking. typical post-freeze hiccups - they subside quickly, nothing has gotten in the way of being productive, and im used to it after 23 years of running Sid.
23 years... WOW😲 We found another Linux Hardcore user 😃
i would think that 23 years of primarily running one distro would be more notable, haha
Speech, vocabulary changes. Hair falls out. There is a personal penguin 🥹🤣
