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.

Just came back to Debian on my gaming rig after a 4 year hiatus, I’ve missed it.

Yeah that seems about right. Bunch of things that I wish were better but I am not going back. When I absolutely must there's a VM for that.

Could a similar meme be made between distributions?

Anyone after trying Ubuntu. Anyone after trying a tiling manager.

For me, it's after trying a non tiling WM. I'm too deep into i3 (now Sway) + tmux.

after trying a tiling manager

I like the idea of tiling window managers – I just find it so much less hassle to use tiling keybinds on a stacking window manager …

I can do the exact same thing in gnome without having to config for days lol. Super key right super up. I agree with you!

It would be the "Corporate needs you to find the difference" meme
