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.

meanwhile I just want to go back to blank/black lockscreen with no visual cues and you just type the password and nothing happens of it's wrong, but I've been quite sick of trying to look up how to do forgotten things I had on older systems only to get AI slop guides that ramble on with a hallucinated life story and either never getting to the point of just not working.
I wish no visuals could just be a setting on all distros
check out Ly, its default is a black screen https://github.com/fairyglade/ly
Slim? Also, console/TUI display managers.
And you can usually restrict search results to up to 2023 to avoid AI slop. Also, i use this userscript to remove domains from results.
Edit: my bad, it's about session locker.
