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.

It was surprising how gpu accelerated rendering helped read logs better. Niche case, but better was better.

Better in what sense?

More readable on my part. The speed at which logs could write to the screen and still be readable was faster for me compared to before.

Interesting! I'd like to experience this at some point.
