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.

I'd like to interject. What you're calling your GNU mug is actually GNU/Mug, or as I prefer; GNU + Mug... [insert rest of copypasta]

Lol, ~~one person~~ [Edit:] 4 people don't like your GNU mug. I do...

That's pretty great! I looked for an Arch mug and none of them are this cool I may need to switch distros.

Link to desk pad?

[–] ABasilPlant@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I used to have the same exact one. For some reason, I can only find similar ones here (Amazon de, in):

https://www.amazon.de/ZYTB-Mauspad-Schreibtisch-Computertastatur-Teppich-World-Map/dp/B08HLN4B3B

https://www.amazon.in/Sounce-Extended-Spill-Resistant-Special-Textured-Anti-Fray/dp/B0C14RHW4H

However, searching for "world map large desk mat" yields you similar results.

I'm not sure where I bought that one now hmmm

If my memory serves me correctly my brother bought this deskpad at a Saturn store but I'm not sure I just know that It was a long time ago

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Right on. Really like it!
