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.

Not very easily. I’ve looked into it and decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. I only use immutable these days. NixOS makes using an LTS kernel really easily, but I could never get my piece of shit printer to work there. Works fine on Fedora.
Ah i see. I also use NixOS but i don't use any printers, so i don't know much about that either.
It really is a stupid reason. I should probably just replace the printer. I’m just too stubborn.
Oh that's horrible.
Fedora shills need to be tarred and feathered instead of upvoted.
Nah I still love Fedora. Just wish they’d stick to the same kernel version per release. A little more stability could go a long ways.
