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.

Su Linux is most likely the answer to lering younger people to use computers fedora is especially good becouse it has a nice package manager (dnf) that is easy to understand
Heyy, you should install this grub theme for your lil brother. I think he might love it
I still maintained that Linus fucked up those Linux videos on purpose. Not sure why but for a guy in the tech industry he really played dumb.
Really pissed me off. What has he got against Linux?

"Why are you doing that nerdy terminal stuff just use Fedora".
Because nerdy terminal shit is cool.
explaining to me why Fedora better than my "nerd OS"
😂
Did you add Flathub or rpmfusion? the store without those things is kinda barren
yup I did
This is great lol. When my friend tried Linux Mint he had to go into the terminal to install Brave, as they don't just provide a .DEB like other browsers do. Maybe I should recommend Fedora to him as well.
You can find the flatpak version of Brave in the Mint software center. Many package maintainers don't allocate space for multiple web browser forks because they take a very long time to compile and update frequently (or have nonfree components like Vivaldi) so flatpaks are your best option.
