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.

So after opening the link I can select my concerns, insert my name and then send, right?

Why don't you just try it? 😉
But the answer is: yes.

Because after trying it wasn't even remotely clear if I was doing it correctly and if any recipient was actually selected, so I decided to ask since it's a pretty important thing that I must not fuck up and I can't go for trial and error.

Doesn't it open your email program with all selected addressees?
What did you expect to go horribly wrong?

I am sorry if me trying to be sure about what I am doing before starting clicking buttons is bothering you somehow.

Next time you can ignore my question, I'll wait for someone else's answer.

Thank you and have a good day.

I don't think that I'm the one in this conversation who appears to be bothered 🤗
I hope you manage to send the email and wish you a good day too.
