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.

Just upgraded to Fedora 42 in probably the worst way possible (self.linux)

I let Discover handle updating to Fedora 42 and got a kernel panic error, so I backed up /home/ and did a fresh install of Fedora 42.

I started my restoration by nuking /home/ with sudo rm -R /home/ and then copied everything over via Dolphin as stuff was slowly torn asunder as parts unloaded from RAM. Everything seems intact so far...

I had started with a full disk clone which is why I was careless with the restoration
