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.

 chown -f $USER /sys/admin/dev/ops/sre/younameit.job

Yeah seems to be the correct path, you just end up learning so much!

sysadmin

Bossmang, I know that we're paying more for RHEL licences than for the entire IT department, but if we switch to Arch we'll cut down the costs significantly.

Gets fired immediately

devops/sre

~~FROM: ubuntu:24.04~~

FROM: debian:12.4

Such distro, much hopping

I'm in this comment and I don't know how to feel about it.

I am so happy that my parents didn't buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster...

What's your story? :)
