Why are so many Linux posts about "Why Linux" these days? We already use Linux. Isn't there news on Linux anymore or what?

2007 was YOTLD for me. Yours, dear Windows-using reader, is 2024, if you want it to be.

I started using Linux prior starting programming..

But knowing some programming languages will not help much maintaining a linux distribution, tho

The problem solving though?

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Hmm, maybe, but I would say understanding normal behaviour of bash commands and what drivers are does not directly involve knowing about coding.

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.
