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 haven't heard anything about the AUR going away. Cany you link me to your source please?

I’ve spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out what lodged that thought in my brain and I can’t find anything. I think maybe I mixed up a Kali extras repo or something, but can’t find any mention of that either, so clearly I'm losing it.
You gave me quite a scare, too. It is unrealistic for Arch and its derivatives, but the few seconds before a brain starts working again were terrifying. But I believe there truly was some mistake somewhere along the way, as I am pretty certain no such thing is happening in the close future. Make sure to treat yourself to a good night sleep tonight for all the hard work you do ❤
