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.

First you say they are right and then you provide evidence to contradict them?
He says Mint is for Boomers so use OpenSuse or Fedora. You agree with him by saying that “old people” are happy with OpenSuse and Fedora.
Did you think he was saying Mint was for Boomers and the other distros were for people older than that? I mean, you might be right. So what do the young people run? Garuda? Nobara? Bazzite?
