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.

It's gonna be 2020 every damn year until the last of those damned redcaps drops dead wondering why they can't taste the horse paste.
I caught it a couple months ago. It absolutely sucked.
Covid is now in the endemic status. It will remain.
If you live in the USA is still a thing (boosters and masks)
In the rest of the world (like me), is a thing from the past for some time
