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.

Very much agreed 👍 I realized when using the dnscrypt to set the DNS settings. There is resolv.conf which used to be the final authority regarding your DNS. Now I don't know anymore
it still is, just make it read only.
not reliable, even if it should be. i've seen updates replace the file in a way that clears the read-only flag. same with other clever tricks like making it a symlink.
Yup. Tried that, doesn't work.
