Linux

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.

WHY IS THE BOTTLE CLOSED? IT'S MEANT TO BE OPEN!!

For those wondering, it's most likely from unixstickers.com

Isn't the faucet supposed to be open? That's the source for my water bottle.

For those wondering, I also received my $1 unixstickers package today.

That $1 starter pack is the real deal! I’m rolling with Tux on my laptop and I’m looking for places to slap my other stickers

Fun fact tangent: Voss water is literally just tap water from Norway (but not from the town with the same name). There are people literally flushing their toilets with the same water.

I mostly drink water of flavor "tap with a hint of rust". We have old pipes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is that a reference to the newly added Rust support in the Kernel?

I have a Kraftwerk sticker on my coffee thermos. A guy at work asked what it was, I said it was an influential electronic band from the 70s/80s. He said, "oh. So people actually listen to techno? It's not a joke?" I said, "yeah, I guess so."

Mhhh... penguin bathwater, so good!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is great that the source is available but unless it includes all the tools to build it myself, I cannot consider it free.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Voss water is just tap water in any case.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Guys, it doesn't have water in it, it has linux inside.
