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.

My entire job is reading bud. What are you even on about. It sounds like you should go work on that cognitive capacity.
Listening to audiobooks engages a different way of thinking than reading the written word does. Listening to audiobooks is not reading.
That isn’t to say it’s not fun or interesting or a way to occupy your mind but it’s not the same as reading.
Why are you still talking.
You do not need to keep replying to me with insults and vitriol. I’m not trying to fight you.
I’m trying to make sure that anyone who reads your comments understands that audiobooks are not in any way a substitute for reading. I want you and anyone who also listens to podcasts or audiobooks or even those long yts to understand that they are different things.
I think that’s an important thing to do because one of the biggest differences is the type of thought each one requires and reading the written word is associated with better cognitive outcomes as a person ages.
I want you to live a long healthy life so I’m still replying :)
