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.

He seemed like a decent guy and that was enough for me to finally make the switch from Gmail to proton and buy prem.
Enjoy pop-up ads trying to sell you a subscription when you just want to view your inbox! The one bad thing about their service.
Gmail has far worse ads that crawl your inbox. A free service asking me to pay for hosting isn't the end of the world
And the sewer is filled with literal shit, it doesn't make a complaint over a pop-up ad on a paid tier any less valid. Get ya whataboutism out of here!
