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.

That's an unlucky number if I ever saw one.
Did you see the previous post about the release?
No. I'm not even sure what this is. Gaming compatibility maybe? I just saw 911 and had that bad omen feeling.
Wine is for running Windows software on Linux. Yeah, mostly used for games.
The previous post had an image of the burning World Trade Center.
Oh no lol
