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.

Currently, I am happy with Mint on ...

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Hexacore 3.6GHz

RAM: 16GB DDR4

Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 1060 gtx

HDD: 1.5TB in two m.2 SSD

When all that "AI is almighty" has run through town in a year or so, I think I will build me a new computer, this time not dual-boot but 100% Linux with Windows virtualized. Should fet tid of some problems, but I need stronger hardware for that.
