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.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for thekernal.xyz. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.xserver.jp, xserver.jp

Most of the time I’m just happy using links. Of course I have graphical browsers like hardened Firefox and ungoogled chromium, but when I just need text, I reach for links, which is about 95% of the time.

True, I only really use my graphical browser for the blog & Fediverse. I do most of my research on Lynx.
