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.

And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.

Lol, I love me some James May saying "cheese", but I was more referring to the old Futurama episode where Bender goes back to Mars University. One of his signature catchphrases in that episode is "Cheese it!"

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Sorry I did not get this reference. I'm not a Futurama fan. I don't know why. 🤷‍♂️

But I know BÄÄM cheese! 😅

It is totally valid that you are not. We all have our preferences. :)

With that being said, I don't get the "BÄÄM" reference. Hehe.

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted
Its a reference to a german video clip. It was a true classic in our group. :D
