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.

It’s moot for me know because my Go sits on my home desk. The initramfs got borked during the Trixie time_t64 transition, and I should have just chrooted and fixed it, but I just let it be because I was sort of done with it. I threw Debian on a beat-up old Lenovo Yoga that I brought on a few trips before getting my Thinkpad E16, which I love, especially after I got that one Wi-Fi card bug sorted out.
