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.

I wouldn't want to put the air intakes of my Thinkpad directly on the grass like that. It's bound to suck in dirt.
it was for about 6 seconds the thinkpad is unharmed i promise
But it has gotten a taste for dirt now. This is only the beginning.
Only a matter of time until it demands for Windows to be installed
I mean at that point there's probably blades of grass going through the fans
On mine there's a fine mesh in front of the fan, blades of grass would not get through
Life, uh...life finds a way
As long as you’re not running something that gets the CPU going crazy I doubt you’d suck in any I Dirt.
