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.

Oh come on, what modern program actually needs to communicate or access the file system?

Exactly all programs should be web based cloud subscription only. We don't want that filthy code on our rgb nvme drives

Wouldn't want the gaping security hole open that is hypnotizing the user via RGB control.
