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.

Can someone explain for us people at work who cant watch a video?
Framework used cheap batteries that died after two years. I got one. It died after two years. They refused to help. Therefore, I wouldn’t trust Framework to actually stand behind their products, and I wouldn’t trust them to use good quality parts.
It sucks because the thought that I could upgrade in the future is the only reason I paid the astronomical price for this thing, and now there’s no way I’m going to buy anything else from them.
They also support DHH, who is a white supremacist.
Wayyy too many Nazis in tech, which unfortunately includes a surprising amount of open source tech too.
Thanks
