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.

Is that a thing at all? I doubt it but thought I'd check just in case.

Just fyi

a storage controller on an USB stick also has programmed "Gb" for addressing the flash storage. For example if you want to remove one of the flash chips, you could be asking how to reprogram the controller to use only half of it's initial capacity. Thats what I was confused about.

But you actually meant Gb/s.

You're right, the correct term is Gb/s or Gbps. Edited.
