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.

...are you still on Windows 10 by any chance? Because Windows 11's UI and UX is atrocious, by design.
Windows 11, but 10 was pretty good too. Honestly I really enjoyed windows 8. My favorite is 98se.
Lol now I get the joke.
okay.
Glad we understand each other.
...and to think, we didn't even have to date, get married, have kids, get divorced, right?
I mean.. I'm not sure what you thought we've been doing, all this time together, but the kids are going to be devastated.
They're going to be meth heads! We'll send them to rehab.
