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.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=WVyqVkGYb4k

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Did someone mention bash? This doesn't have much to do with bash. Can we do this but make a service hijack all open sessions for a particular user and write to stdout?

The first comment on the source code is very useful and productive.

You mean the line containing the licence? Or the user who commented some improvement.suggestions? In any case, I agree :)
