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.

[...] What I forgot to mention is that metux created huge numbers of commits using AI without checking them, but I never published that until here.

When these 3 persons learned about my Xorg advices in our forum they kicked me out of the xlibre team and startd to make my - personal - life hell.

It could be that I'm late, but if there are any other Artix users out there who wonder why a pacman -Syu asks whether you want to replace xlibre, here's the reason.

Four contrarians walk into a bar. The first one says "ouch, I stubbed my toe on a chair". The second one says "there is no actual bar, because this is a joke", the third one says "no it is real, I'll have one real beer, please". The fourth one walks away.

But more seriously: yikes.
