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.

i've unwittingly separated myself from the general linux user experience in my march towards becoming a professional grey beard and seeing old project names that i had forgotten about in the last 15ish years, like anaconda, gives me goosebumps when the memories flood back in.

posts like this make me glad that i decided to build my next daily driver exactly how most people here do it and i wonder if the skills that i've acquired since the last time i did this will help any.
