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.

Day 1: "What is this place?"
Day 3: "Do you have a moment to hear the wonders of Fdroid?"
Lemmy pushed me towards f droid
I've been a linux user since 2006. But I'm not a computer guy, it was just my OS really. I haven't done serious computer work it what feels like decades. Two days on Lemmy and I'm thinking selfhosting a smarthome could be for me. Things are so wonderful now.
PS: Auch mag ich Kühe. Sie sehen wie Landcarten aus.
Ok, that's about the most complex sentence I can make. I wish I stuck with learning German.
It's called "Landkarten" :) but for the rest this sentence is completely correct.
I am a Linux user for about 1.5-2 years and I really like doing technical stuff. The next thing I really have to do is figure out how to install Stable diffusion on Arch Linux. That stuff isn't that straight forward. All guides I found didn't work.
German Ks make so much damn sense. Why do I keep screwing them up?
In this case, it was that "cartographer" is a cognate.
