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.

This is amazing. I love discovering new/interesting developer blogs like this one, which is a challenge considering they’re all buried by SEO bullshit.
If you're not already aware of it (I wasn't until recently) there's a search engine that "prioritizes non-corporate content": https://marginalia-search.com/
I couldn't find this particular article or blog there, I'm not sure why. Perhaps their robots.txt blocks it, which would be unfortunate. It turns up other similar content though.
That’s beautiful. Thank you!
