Linux

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.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=nltk2GuvEBY

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Can we stop with these useless fucking comments to bots? Don't turn this place into reddit where the same dumb comments are parroted over and over.

I like praising bots and I won't be stopping

[–] zolax@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh ok

I do appreciate the fact that more private Piped links are provided instead of direct YouTube links (my bad btw), although direct ways of saying thank you (messaging developers, sending donations, providing feedback) would be more useful and productive

thanks for the advice. I'm also not a fan of those type of comments too lol

I apologize for coming off so harsh... I've just been seeing these a lot and they really annoy me. Unfortunately you were the person that was at the end of those frustrations. I was out on a ride and was thinking about my message to you and regretted it, I should have been more kind in my messaging.
