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'm upgrading my builds and I decided to get a new monitor so I splurged on the Samsung G9 49" Curved OLED.

My personal and work ARM MBP's require significant tweaking to get the G9 working with a good DPI and font rendering.

I finally booted up my desktop tonight and it just works. I literally didn't have to touch anything.

It's not Silverblue specific, it's the Linux Kernel.

Can verify, use Silverblue and it was plug and play for me back when I first used it around January.

Updated the kernel to 6.13 around February/March and broke Bluetooth for me. I have no idea how to fix it besides rolling back to a prev update.

Read his comments. He's likely a 15 year old troll that has learned the word shill just recently
