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.

@TheKernalBlog Of course it's not a strong daily driver, it's not meant to be that. It's meant as something you can temporarily plug in and use for ultra-private web browsing, like when you're in a repressive regime and need to safely access LGBT or dissident resources, or just are really paranoid about something you're doing online.
I know. But it's the best you can get for a persistent system on a USB drive. Even better than Puppy.
Isn’t nomadBSD better than all of linux distributions for that matter ?
I checked it some years ago and it was the best
NomadBSD doesn't work on most newer laptops. It doesn't have many of the drivers used for modern Wifi cards.
