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.

Good on privacy and monero. I wish he would do more hands-on I2P and Monero stuff.
Dislike the politics. But alt-right sympathizers have been part of the scene ever since I can remember.
I prefer the European cyperpunk scene. Less guns and bootlicking, more sticking it to the man. Sadly, we aren't really producing much English language content, so Americans still have an edge online.
I love how you casually ignored the existence of English speaking countries in Europe. I think at least Ireland deserves better lol
I've been to Ireland many times but didn't know they can speak english over there.
