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.

Those are amazing! There so cute 😍

Yes, I'm very impressed by the high quality photos and how it captures how the penguins live their lives.

I wounder if we could make a script to pick a random one and use it as a background image? It would be awesome to have those as background images but o don’t know if the author would be okay with me using them for that

Don't know, but nice idea. btw, I found out about the photographer on Mastodon today as someone used a photo. When I zoomed in on the penguins photo I noticed the photographer name and searched and found their photo site.
