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.

1.so your library PCs run ubuntu? that's cool, my uni uses win11.
2.did you mount the USB stick and then add the directory with neofetch in it to path? Or did you do something else?
All government owned libraries in Oslo Norway use Ubuntu. I was originally trying to install hyfetch as python was installed. Pip was not, so I tried running the setup script from the source code but it failed as it relies on some pip dependencies. I did find the neofetch script in the source code, and I ran it straight from the usb drive. I did not set the usb directory with neofetch to path as I don't want to configure things that might break the pc for other people.
Huh, I had no idea. It's so cool that Norwegian libraries do that
