Been using Debian Since Potato. Never had a real reason to use any other distro.

Are they still named after Toy Story characters? I have Debian running on my selfhosted gear but never really paid attention to the release names - just the numbers 😅

@lemann @craigevil we’re up to bookworm, a minor character from Toy Story 3.

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.
