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.

Why is the site image puffy from openBSD?
From Portuguese to English.
It’s what I mostly write about. 🥸
I will check out more of your content. OpenBSD is a cool OS. What is your opinion on desktop OpenBSD?
Not them but I found it too slow and unresponsive for desktop use. Would make a great server OS though.
I use it on my thinkpad x220 works great with a simple wm. I use dwm.
