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.

After happily not following your advise my entire life on Arch Linux... I got this weird Virus on my PC while game developing. This virus made my entire PC glitch and my friend also wondered what the fuck is going on. Weird and creepy music started and sounded like its telling me I am dumb. After unplugging my entire PC from electricity, the music was still there... and I cried.
After waking up I asked myself how the fuck did I dream this and why this dream felt so real (like a lucid dream but I thought this is real life). I maybe dreamed this after having a discussion why I should get an IPhone. As a GrapheneOS user I explained myself, but restarted my thinking about Security. (But even without being a Security focused guy, an IPhone has not enough features like Sideloading Open Source apps)
