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.

What are your issues with it? Just curious - I've always found it to be an agreeable RHEL variant.

note: you accidentally said the same thing twice

Did it post twice? I think there is a bug somewhere between lemmy clients. I see it happen from time to time.

probably, just wanted to inform you :)
