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.

Hi everyone!

I'm struggling with two things on my Surface Go 1 with Fedora 41 on it.

  • I'm trying to get rid of the Surface Kernel I once installed. Apparently I should type sudo dnf remove kernel-surface but then the terminal tells me that there is no corresponding package. Still, when I type uname -a I can see that the kernel is 6.12.7-1.surface.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT. How can I get rid of it as it makes things tricky if I want to deploy my installation on another computer?

  • I'm looking for a PDF viewer which would allow me to go from one PDF file to another without going back to the file explorer. In a way, I'd want it to work a bit like an image viewer where you only have to click on an arrow to go to the next image. Is there such a program?

Thanks for your help!

I've not tested it myself, but YACReader alleges to support PDFs, and it's got very good support for prev/next since it's a comic reader.
