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.

Oh man, the feeling of solving an obscure issue on the first try without having to ask for any extra hints: chef's kiss. I'm glad I could be of assistance!

I am very glad, also impressed by that detailed knowledge, are you working on/with lemmy? I'd whip out an award, but here are only poor men awards 🏅🏆

Nah, I was just playing around with the API and spent the better part of a day trying to figure out why authentication wasn't working for me (I'd been using a 64 character password 🤦)
