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.

Jesus, people analyzing Debian releases like if it was the stock market 😂
Debian users analyzing graphs in order to estimate when they can upgrade from really old software to slightly less old software 🤣
Actually I'm waiting on Debian 13 to get Incus 6.0 LTS! Current machines with LXD 5.0 are starting to annoy me.
This is the reason I upgraded to Trixie six months ago. Wish I knew better about back ports. Can't wait to be back in stable release for that server. Love Incus.
