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 share my dotfiles, I don't see anything intimate or personal in there. I share them because other Linux enthusiasts have asked about what to use or how I config it.
It's in my GitHub but what I don't do is share my GitHub publicly, mostly cause it links me from my shit posting social media where I'm too open about things, into the work and irl landscape.
I like to keep those things separate.
Share me your .ssh files please
hmm I don't consider that part of like config stuff although I get it's a dotfile
In fact send me your ./../../ please
