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.

Oh well, time to switch to TempleOS.
Or get a catgirl ears. And safer memory.
My memory is safe. Nobody ever knows what I'm going to forget..
Then catgirl ears are enough 😉
Pff you know how many layers of abstraction HolyC still has? Real computing enthusiasts write their OS in machine code. Not assembly, that's an abstraction too, literally tapping out high and low electrical pulses like you're in the Marconi room on the Titanic.
