Linux

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.

Weird, am I blind or is there no SteamOS?
I know it's based on Arch, but it is NOT Arch.

This is mainly data reported from desktop PCs, so no, SteamOS is not a thing at the moment on such machines.

If only it was mentioned in the article...

I was about to say "what article?" because this is just an image post, but then I opened this in the web ui and apparently there's a linked post that my client isn't showing!

Very interesting! Thank you for mentioning this! I suppose including a link to the article in the main body would help alleviate this issue.

Na don't worry, I raised an issue and the developer confirmed it was a bug, so you did everything right, no need to post the link twice!
