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.

Now that 2024 is coming to the end and Christmas around the corner, have you considered any donations to be given? If yes where?

Fair warning if you donate to Wikipedia you will be emailed every 1 or 2 weeks asking if you can afford to donate again in guilt tripping manner. I unsubscribed due to it. I support the freedom of knowledge but nagging the people who do donate ain't the way to go if you are looking for more money
