Linux

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.

WHY IS THE BOTTLE CLOSED? IT'S MEANT TO BE OPEN!!

For those wondering, it's most likely from unixstickers.com

Isn't the faucet supposed to be open? That's the source for my water bottle.

For those wondering, I also received my $1 unixstickers package today.

That $1 starter pack is the real deal! I’m rolling with Tux on my laptop and I’m looking for places to slap my other stickers

Fun fact tangent: Voss water is literally just tap water from Norway (but not from the town with the same name). There are people literally flushing their toilets with the same water.

Oh I love water, can't live without it

I mostly drink water of flavor "tap with a hint of rust". We have old pipes.

I have a Kraftwerk sticker on my coffee thermos. A guy at work asked what it was, I said it was an influential electronic band from the 70s/80s. He said, "oh. So people actually listen to techno? It's not a joke?" I said, "yeah, I guess so."

[–] moog@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

[–] guazzabuglio@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Can it run Doom?

I see you also just received your $1 sticker pack from StickerMule and you also placed one on your water bottle and had a chuckle lol. I placed the Gopher on mine.

Is this available on Flathub??

[–] imnapr@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Did you fill it up using the FOSSit?

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

But is it thick enough to be forked I wonder?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i know it's impossible to find a name for things that doesnt mean something funny/inappropriate in at least one language, but oh god. every time i see FOSS my inner kindergartener comes out to giggle.

Conjugating finno-urgic languages makes me foss myself.

[–] Caststarman@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Whole new meaning to drinking foss...

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

Mhhh... penguin bathwater, so good!

[–] iampivot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Voss water is just tap water in any case.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

It is great that the source is available but unless it includes all the tools to build it myself, I cannot consider it free.

[–] VitabytesDev@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Guys, it doesn't have water in it, it has linux inside.
