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.

@valentino NixOS – I mean it is really nice to have a declarative OS, but I don’t like its logo.

Gotta appreciate the pettiness of this. 😆

I tried installing NixOS in a VM once and it spent at least 45 minutes doing something with python and I said "That's enough of that" and killed the VM.

Python works, it's pip that doesn't work because it's trying to install stuff into an immutable distro

that logo is ancient and unappealing

I've never seen it before until now, but you're totally right. I'm going to start hating it too now.

You should take a look at the Gentoo logo. That's an international hate crime of a logo.
