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.

"guys look here's an ASCII logo of the distro I use"
okay... and?
@noodlejetski I just want to show what kind of system I use. That image is just the byproduct, in my opinion atleast.
one of the mentions that you added to your post (along with thelinuxEXP for some reason) makes it appear in a Lemmy community that's focused on Linux news, not screenshots.
