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.

it's nice to see people are still doing this; bravo!
i've also intended to try my hand at this, but my inner masochist is too lazy for it. lol
I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.
same here on both counts.
i created a convincing lcars interface based on enlightenment 20-ish years ago and it would take on a whole new level of enjoyment nowadays with a touchscreen laptop; i could pretend that i have a padd. lol
I'm not masochistic my self lol, I just tired with ordinary distro.
that part of my comment was meant to be a self indictment/reflection; i'm a bit of a linux cuck since i've adapted myself to fit ordinary distros' designs instead of creating something that works for me. lol
that's why i marvel at people who do the needful that i should be doing, like here.
