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.

Do any of you people actually use your OS, or do you just distro-hop and tweak things all day?
oh i only have a computer to sit there going "beep boop" and giggling to myself i've never turned it on
@TimeSquirrel @nicknonya Been runnin basically the same setup for the better part of ~20 years. That's not gonna stop me from playin with stuff I don't know or like though.
Distro-hop? Never. But getting something to work is way more satisfying to me than using that thing. (Slackware user since late 90s, recently diagnosed with adhd)
The answer to that is…yes.
I do use my OS but I also like to play with it, that's one beauty of Linux: you can set it up and forget about it till the end of times or you can spend days tinkering with it if it provides you joy.
We save so much productivity finding better distros that we have 50% more time to distro hop. /s
you know VMs are a thing, right?
You know jokes and sarcasm are a thing, right?
it went over my head, sorry for the mistake. have a lovely day.
Sorry for the confusion. I should probably start using emojis to convey playfulness in nonserious comments.
