I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

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.

Coming back to this, if you ever see me in a thread in the future. Please just assume I'm the dumbest fuck in the world who is in desperate need of your knowledge 🙏
Sorry, at no point did I want to imply that you are dumb or something.
I just misread your first post and thought you complained that the Ubuntu people don't give you free hardware. And I'm sorry for jumping to this conclusion without understanding your actual problem correctly.
