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.

With Wayland becoming more and more popular, it's interesting to look at the around 40 year history of X.

I really like this guy's content, but his way of speaking is somehow extremely hard for me to follow. Maybe it's because I'm not a native, but I really have to focus on listening, otherwise it's just a blur.

I hate the number of people teaching useful things using videos instead of writing articles.

I'd disagree regarding such vids: these are more of a time fillers (how exactly is it useful to know the history of x11?). Hence, it's more convenient to listen to them as a podcast (e.g. via newpipe or mpv).
