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 was 11 when I took this screenshot - Ubuntu 14.04 running on my very first (incredibly bad) PC. As I recall, I couldn't install Windows 7 without a DVD drive, and that was out of my budget :p
Pretty sure I had it riced out with the Compiz cube and everything.
I thought I was super hot sht when someone was over and I'd spin my 2 screen wobbly cube around or do my pages around like wavy sheets of paper 🤣
Lol, wobbly windows was just amazing. You could basically cook eggs on my laptop, because in order to get the cool 3D desktop cube, I had to run compiz on my integrated nvidia graphics card. It was one of those secondary graphics chips, that was meant to run select tasks, not a whole desktop (rip my laptop fan).
