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.

It's outrageous! You must start a crusade to make them see the error of their ways and start using Arch!
They're teachers, they already have a full time job, they don't need a side job of syadminning their own laptops.
I'm a teacher at university and I run Arch, BTW. 😁
me too!
I don't get how people manage to spend so much time keeping arch running. I used it on my laptop for a few years and it just worked?? It was like the easiest to maintain distribution I've used other than immutable ones. The only real problems I ever had were accidentally interrupting pacman during a kernel update and not having a kernel, but that was always a like 2 minute fix
Should I ?
No
please don't
You must! The Penguin demands it!
I teach. I use Arch for my school laptop.
Thank you for your service ❤️
