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 just remembered it because it has twenty-nine minutes uptime.

What kind of scrub runs Arch with a kernel that’s been compiled twenty-nine minutes ago?

That shit needs to be updated!

☺️i love my arch on my macbookpro from 2009 😂

Was difficult to understand that I have to boot via legacy bios in order for the nvidia grafic to work.. But after installing grub2 via CDrom I had i done ✅ now I can boot any iso from using grub2 and don’t have to relay on CD rom anymore 🥳 Next will be a 2013 MacBookPro (with nvidia as well), as soon as my motor buys her m3 MacBookPro

This reads like a copypasta

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

just cause they use emojis?

I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

allowing emojis on the internet was a fucking mistake ngl.

Endeavour on my desktop, and Fedora Silverblue on my MacBook - good combination!
