Linux

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.

Such a great backup here... Aaaaa. Let Lemmy fly and outgrown reddit!

I know, right? It's funny how all of my posts here so far are just old ones from Reddit...

Then what's the point of them?

[–] DeeBeeDouble@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are no longer on reddit. If I hadn't reposted them here, they would have been lost forever.

Just wish the customization software actually existed for my peripherals.

Very true. There are obviously some community projects, but no doubt, official software would be better. Or even better, if they would make it easy for the community to develop those tools.

I contacted every company that makes their software for windows and macos for my keyboards and other peripherals asking them to port it to Linux.
