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.

like for example,, one time i was browsing through some neofetch screenshots and i found out that a lot of them have anime or furry stuff as their wallpaper or profile picture,, but they use linux. hmm or maybe they even have proprietary videogame images!! i used to think that was bad but now i realize that even if you have proprietary stuff as images like,, furry fanart of some proprietary videogame, it's like just a picture, a jpeg. but still,, younger me would've freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files, but i still enjoy linux. what do you think?? please

When you say 'younger me' do you mean like four year old you, because eight year old current you doesn't make sense? I have no idea what the whole point of this post is, other than it must be some chatgpt output someone thought would be funny to throw out.

Sadly, I think this is a much older, non-AI person who thinks that they're funny.

younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files

That's good for starters. What do you mean by "younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files"? Exactly what proprietary files are you talking about? Background pics are usually jpeg, or png, and those are not proprietary to linux, so I think that's part of what has everyone confused about this. Are you also insinuating that people can only use certain backgrounds based on either belief or their own actual background? I am curious to hear your explanation if you aren't a llm. And by the way, saying you don't use chatgpt is exactly what I would expect chatgpt to reply with. LOL. I keed I keed.
