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 followed Mental Outlaw's 2019 guide and followed the official handbook to get up-to-date instructions and tailored instructions for my system, the process took about 4 hours however I did go out for a nice walk while my kernel was compiling. Overall I enjoyed the process and learnt a lot about the Linux kernel while doing it.

I'm planning on installing it to my hardware soon, this was to get a feel for the process in a non-destructive way.

Oh I really hope this is satire.

Must be.

People just don't care to put \s at the end anymore it seems. And when argued against they (we in this case) will be told that they don't have any sense of humor.

I wont argue as such. Unless its a divisive topic where theres no place for ambiguity, /s just takes away from the sarcasm.

/s just takes away from the sarcasm.

Yeah. It kinda does. Worst thing is, if you cleverly construct your joke some people will not get it and then some chocolate pudding will hit the air mover. But on the other hand \s somewhat ruins the good joke.

Thats part of the fun with edgy sarcasm.

Don't know if its a joke but i saw a moronic comment and to highlight the ridiculousness decided to be a bigger moron.
