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.

i've got a couple of goals that i want to accomplish with my new build and i think that forcing myself to do it the hard way like i used to 20ish years ago would help with that; but if amd has gotten easy, i wonder if i should go with nvidia again.
you've made me aware that i've missed the whole wayland/x11 situation by going with certified linux hardware and avoiding nvidia at all costs because of my experiences with it in the past. this endeavor has made me realize how disconnected i've made myself from the reality of 95% of linux users by sitting in my little bubble of certified linux hardware and only talking to other linux professionals instead of the general public.
my conversations with those professionals are NOTHING like the ones here and you can tell when capitalism has sucked the passion out of it for them because it takes one to know one. i'm finding that jumping back in is rekindling it for me; i've spent a considerable about of times making plans for this build and i can't remember how long it's been since if felt any excitement about a linux-centric project.
