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.

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

I misread you as saying "Thanks late stage filesystem." 🤣
