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.

you're limited to systems that use an AMD chip

Once again, not a consequence.

I don't think - I know.

You know...what?

But since I install my packages using "apt" they are all managed by dkms and I don't need to worry about it.

My guy, I don't even know what these words mean. And with AMD, I don't have to become a software engineer. It just works.

This is the literal definition of a consequence. 🤣

...was there something you wanted to add?

Consequence: "a result or effect of an action or condition."

e.g "being stuck buying only amd kit"

Oh no, absolutely nothing else to add. I don't want to confuse you with "software engineer speak". Enjoy the self-imposed ignorance.

For the third time, not a consequence. Consequence implies some sort of sacrifice.

Oh no, absolutely nothing else to add.

Excellent, glad to hear it. 👍
