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.

Ever tried paru? Did the jump a while ago and it is slightly better, the best kind of better.
Thanks for reminding me of paru! I've checked and I have it installed already. But I confess that I'm so used to yay that I completely forgot about paru.
Do you have any paru tutorial you recommend?
