Linux

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.

Wait, you're telling me there's a way to get tech support AND I get to give handjobs?

you're about 30 years too late to trade a blowjob for software development and what is up with this nancy reagan silliness?!!! lol

Nancy Reagan was the throat goat of Hollywood and DC, my man. Throat game was strong.

But are you saying I'm 30 years too late with you, or that the entire blowjob-for-computer-work economy has tragically collapsed in recent decades?

grindr outages prove how slutty republicans truly are and it's not that this economy has tragically collapsed -- it's that money is less messy. lol

The money can stay clean. Remember, I have great throat game, you don't have to finish on the money
