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 know i can use the flatpak version and i did try that one out on my other laptop but, i think it will come to the package manager when some stuff is fixed??? thank you
On an unrelated note:
Why do you have Teddy Ruxpin as your desktop background, and more importantly, why do I feel such reverence for it as a very non-stereotypical background for a Linux user?
that's simple to answer, my husband recently showed me that show and i think it's pretty sweet!!
The way i see it, the fact that we all are on open-source reddit alternatives means that we are all unique in our own ways.
Reddit was already a nieche social media platform. Then lemmy is the nieche of a nieche. So yes, we all have unique likes and hobbies.
was niche
Maybe its a shared device that kids also use? We have a laptop that's shared amongst everyone and I constantly come back to finding random desktop wallpapers from Minecraft to Undertale to Pokemon and I think the latest is Transformers related lol.
Not using different user accounts, that's a paddling
Would 2010s kids know what Teddy Ruxpin is? My partner was born ‘91 and she didn’t even know what it was.
I was born in 1990, and I had a Teddy Ruxpin bear.
