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.

Apparently the reason my computer has been taking 2 minutes to boot was a faulty network mount

I'm shocked how smoothly it runs Gnome on Debian 12. KDE on NixOS was okay but had some noticeable slowdown. Here I was thinking it would be relegated to being an Arch CLI terminal.
