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.

not trying to sound like an internet badass but if I find someone in my home fucking with my config files I will kill them with a hammer
I would at the very least break their fingers if they touch my keyboard.
No hammer needed...
This made me think of a custom keyboard with a mousetrap arm at the top to break the fingers of would-be typers.
Mousetrap keyboard + Suicide Linux
But I bet it's more fun with a hammer.
But you could damage the keyboard
Not my Model M.
The Model M IS the weapon
That's collateral damage I'm willing to risk 🤣
My first reaction would be to acknowledge them as a fellow geek, but that's because most of the people who live near me would hurt themselves trying to open Notepad. Anyone who knows enough to start hacking my config files would be a welcome guest in my house.
Then I'd kill them with a hammer. :-)
