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.

I still hate the trend of creating video's of something that can be summarised in 2-3 lines of text. So I can ask, right?

And yes I am also a lazy mongrel. I think. What's a mongrel? I am lazy.

Also, for some folks, videos are a massive pain to watch due to accessibility issues. I'm medium lazy non-mongrel but I happen to have shit hearing, so fuck me, right?

What’s a mongrel?

It's a non-purebred dog. Which, amusingly, tend to have fewer health problems than purebreds.
