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 does this consist of? Well, it's easy, whenever you install a new distribution of Linux, don't customise anything, nothing please!! Out of the box experience, you may install software but that's all. And if you are already using a customised distro, then delete the .config file and reboot, but please be careful and check your distribution wiki before doing that o.o

No, no, you have to delete your git config. That's part of the challenge.

I'm also back on 60 Hz on my 160 Hz monitor because of this challenge. So cute though.
