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.

an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn't

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don't have a reddit account.

they are literally volunteers. calling it fisher price and publically boasting how bothered you are by it is lacking empathy towards the humans and their involvement. that is what you said. Why? Literally keep crying about it like the sad internet linux loser you portray or help them. Set people up for success, don't be the useless online edgelord

you should volunteer for one thing in your life please. Improve the world around you. Reach out with empathy towards your volunteering neighbors, if it isnt so hard? touch grass, as the youths say
