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.

Tbh I don't even remember much of the stuff that I lost anymore. I had a lot of images, a legally downloaded series, a good amount of legally downloaded music that I keep forgetting I don't have on my phone, the aforementioned game saves, and I don't remember more rn. I was luckily more creative during school so the more important stuff (Siberian sniper crocodile) was on another device.
Lucky me most of the important stuff are things I have on another computer, or can redownload from email or whatever service that needed it.
But my new passwords.... oh well. Recovery is typically easy.
What sucks is losing things you did not know you would need or miss until much later.
