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 have a POS laptop here with a small ssd in it, gemini lake, originally came with 4gb and hdd. as sold, was about the slowest piece of shit available that 'officially' supports win11. it has 8gb and that 120gb ssd now, and it's barely usable to look at a web page.
i just get it out when i need to show someone something online or do something online for them.
